Thank you, Phil. He was wiser than me, and taught me at a young age to love photography, for which I’ll always be grateful...

Good one Gary. I can't wait to lay my hands on a wider camera.

This is excellent Rog. A transition also in structure it seems.

I can fully understand that dog. It was h.o.t. in Aix. When were you there last year? We were there in mid August.

dreaming / fred williams landscape, northern territory 2002

I was influenced, while taking these photographs, by both Aboriginal art and the art of fred williams: https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/essay/fred-williamss-pilbara-series/

Being unaware of Fred Williams I followed your link. Phil. The two dimensional feel of his work is certainly mirrored in this photograph and like Fred's work invites contemplation. I enjoyed my exploring and the comfortable feeling it invoked.

Thanks so much Charles. I’m glad to think that you found something comfortable in Williams’ work. The paintings are typically done very large and, to me, really do evoke the spirit of the huge landscapes he portrays. And these landscapes do, as you observe, invite contemplation - this is very evident especially in the paintings done by aboriginal artists, where the stories of the land are told and, in the telling, handed down from generation to generation.

It is so interesting, Phil, to see how history and the arts--Aboriginal and contemporary painting, as well as music--inform your creative vision. The inspiration of Aboriginal art and Fred Williams's painting privilege the wellspring of dreaming that you allow in your title. Thanks for the link to Williams. He's definitely of the color field clan, and I appreciate his approach to perspective, which reminds me of Diebenkorn's aerial perspective and spatial ambiguity. Looking from above and across a landscape, simultaneously, as in his Ocean Park series.

The little strip of blue sky in your landscapes is central to "grounding" the rust palette of your compositions. Adroit and succinct. And that "imposslbe tree" is only something that Aboriginal storytelling can explain. Charles's comment that "The two dimensional feel of his (Fred's) work is certainly mirrored in this photograph and like Fred's work invites contemplation" is dead center perfect. However, I will even say that your landscape realism drives me to abstraction in a kind of Zen overload departure. I see your work and my mind starts to take what's there and deconstruct/reconstruct. In the best sense, nothing is what it is. There's always that referent. There's Malevich's "objectlessness" and Samuel Beckett's "Lessness."
