11/09/08 - Looking for Jackson Pollock

A few weeks ago we looked at "paintings" of trees in the style of van Gogh and Monet (as seen through the lens of a camera). Today Jackson Pollock is with us. Jackson told me that he doesn't do trees (or anything representational for that matter) but if you look closely they're there - as if fall foliage were being reflected in water with a blue sky and puffy white cloud background. Way to go, Jackson.

Great shot I did a similar shot myself with some silver birch trees. this looks better with the autum colours.

Wonderful reflections. I love how the frame is filled with the pattern. It reminds me somewhat of FP's texture studies.
