Autumn

The square format is appealing to me these days and I've created all sorts of montages such as this that are completely abstract, consisting of practically nothing recognizable. I'll combine walls and trees and rust and netting and shadows to create a mood, an impression. A bit of paint becomes a harvest moon. Scratches imply birds or salmon in migratory motion. The seasons change, the colors of summer fade into browns and oranges, blacks and greys — the colors of quiet continuity. ©Carol Leigh
