Artesian Well




Project 365 - Photo 24 ________ Movement #5, originally uploaded to Flickr by Ontario Wanderer.



The artesian well on Sulfur Springs Road is a weekly stop as we get all of our drinking water from there. I keep looking for new ways to photograph the constant stream of fresh water here. Meanwhile, down the road about a kilometre, there is another running spring with Sulfur water that one can smell when driving by. It has a very powerful odour.

Art In Progress #2

The section on the right of the fattest line was not dry when I took the photo so I am hoping it will look more like the left when it drys. If not, I will have to work more on it. I am not liking the dark almost straight diagonal but I am not sure what I can do with it. More time to work on it next week. (It's staying in the classroom and I only have access once a week.)

The Flickr project of the week is to capture motion. I am not too pleased with this one but don't have time to play any more with this idea today.

Project 365 - Photo 19 _______ Water # 7




Project 365 - Photo 19 _______ Water # 7, originally uploaded by Ontario Wanderer.

I was scratching my head looking for real "water" outside in our cold temperatures then poured some water into the dog's water bowl. Before I could get the camera set up, the ice was already beginning to form.

First Strokes




First Strokes, originally uploaded to Flickr by Ontario Wanderer.

I had an art class challenge. Paint on a 5 x 6 foot canvas. With something this large it will take me a while to finish. (Some of the other students are already finished.) This is the background and the first two "strokes." I've quite a ways to go yet. I made several abstract drawings on paper and then looked at small sections of the drawings in order to set up my idea for this canvas. I am assuming that in the end I can cut the canvas again, if I wish, to change the composition again. Could be interesting. If all else fails, I can paint over it.
