When driving to the lake I was thinking about refraction and the snow's effect on it. I tried to study that while trying to keep the abstract quality in the landscape. That led me to choose the hill as subject matter, rather than the lake.
PS I photographed the snow field again and replaced yesterday's jpeg with the more recent one. Still doesn't work, but at least it's accurate. Now to helping the patient.

Good choice, I think. It has a Kahn feeling to it.
Mayvbe I already recommended this to you before, but I have a book @ 100 paintings by Russell Chatham. He paints square o/c works that are highly abstracted landscapes of California and Montana. Very yummy stuff - you should try to get a copy, because his use of abstract shapes teaches me much.
I like the abstract shapes here is why I thought of that. I am struggling with an image of a crown of trees at the ocean that will someday be perfected, but I have tried it many times without success. This image has the merit I wish I could place in that one, except that the structure is different in my scene.
Take care. Spring is on the way.
Nice. Refraction is pretty abstract too.
Thanks Katherine, Kahn eh?
Casey, I will check out the book you mention.
The one thing that drew me to living in DC was early, long and luxurious Spring. I CAN'T wait!
Thanks Bob!
I like this one a lot. I think abstraction is often best seen in the thumbnail; this one is a good example.
Thanks Sam! Interesting about abstraction best seen in the thumbnail...you're right.
