I am collecting these scenes where nature creates an abstract expressionist effect, and the trees along the edge of this meadow did it.
I'm doing it because I like the effect. But there's also something humorous about the movement from realism to expressionism to abstract expressionism to not just photorealism but actual photography that then looks like abstract expressionism.
It's safe to presume nature had it all along.
Everything has already been created, and as much as it might at first feel like admitting defeat, artists are subcreators within the larger domain.
Sometimes, at this late stage in human history, it can feel like nothing original remains to be created — like everything original has already been done. But the task isn't to try to rebut this presumption, the task is to, over and over again, reveal how baselessness that assumption is.
Jackson Pollock's paintings were radical departures from traditional techniques and subjects for the medium. If they still resemble the patterns of nature, it seems pointless to insist on more novelty. After a while, the things done as radical departures are themselves the norm. And after that goes on for a little while, the the traditional images become radical.
But even that cycle is beside the point when you pick up your camera. Then, for that time, all that matters is what will you find to meditate on? How will it change you? What can you learn about giving that process to other people?
Good photography isn't communicating like prose, it is, like poetry speaking very dense, fractal, multi-faceted and polyvalent phrases that evoke layers of meaning. By doing this, it invites meditation.
So am I doing good photography? Should we burden ourselves with such a question? Only time will tell. The good will continue to evoke. Some art takes time to come into its own. Only art that survives the vicissitudes of time and continues to reveal a meaningful pattern will survive.
In the meantime, this is what I know for sure, I still have so much to learn, and I never want to stop finding ways to really meditate on what is around me.

Reykjavík is seen on a stormy afternoon from Perlan's observation deck. The big church in center is Hallgrímskirkja, the Lutheran parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. Besides being the largest church in Iceland, with its steeple rising 244 feet high (74.5 meters), it is among the tallest structures in Iceland. Built in 1986 and designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, the church is an example of Expressionist architecture.
*some of you have asked to see this portrait which has never been exhibited and is part of my own collection; It was under glass and had to be removed to be photographed. As most of you know Rudolf von Laben was the "inventor" of German expressionist dance /until I discovered otherwise/ which he labeled: "Ausdruckstanz" in english: Sorrow and Pain"
for more on him, visit my posting of august 1, 2010 titled: "el arte soy yo" #1

A variant of expressionist architecture that uses bricks, tiles or clinker bricks as the main visible building material. Buildings in the style were erected mostly in the 1920s, primarily in Germany, where the style was created. In Amsterdam was named The Amsterdam school. Buildings of the Amsterdam School are characterized by brick construction with complicated masonry with a rounded or organic appearance, relatively traditional massing, and the integration of an elaborate scheme of building elements inside and out: decorative masonry, art glass, wrought ironwork, spires or "ladder" windows (with horizontal bars), and integrated architectural sculpture. The aim was to create a total architectural experience, interior and exterior.
there is something about this summer that has me feeling detached from reality, from my own experiences, and from my feelings. i think it could be my medication. it could also be the way i've learned to cope with a life where we're exposed to a constant stream of strange, cruel, and improbable events.
every week it seems there is something happening somewhere that at a different time (not even that long ago) would beggar belief. today it's just another block of text on a screen, a series of predictable reactions, reactions to the reactions, and then nothing. in the garden of our waking lives we are forever weeding.
unfortunately, when i wander into nature near my home in the evenings, i find that instead of the respite i seek i bring the day's dissociation with me. i am unable to fully leave behind the world of information and exist in a world of pure experience. this image is what that looks like to me: blurred vision, barely discernible shapes, familiar colors, altogether chaotic and intimidating. floating above myself while i watch a sunset, trying to see it through a different set of eyes.
Architect: Peder Vilhelm Jensen Klint, Kaare Klint
Built in: 1921-1940
Builder:
Grundtvig's Church (Grundtvigs Kirke) in Copenhagen, Denmark is a rare example of expressionist church architecture and due to its unusual appearance; it is one of the best-known churches in the city.
The church is named after the Danish philosopher and hymn writer N. F. S. Grundtvig and was built by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint. The work took place mainly from 1921 to 1926 when the tower section was completed, leading to the initial inauguration of the so-called Tower Church in 1927. Further work on the interior and on adjacent buildings continued until 1940 and was completed by Klint's son architect Kaare Klint after his father's death in 1930. The church stands at the centre of a residential development (1924–36), also in yellow bricks, designed by Jensen-Klint in harmony with the church.
The most striking feature of the church is its west façade with the 49 m (160 ft) tall bell tower. It is an imposing façade.

Die beiden Bärenskulpturen von Hermann Joachim Pagels stammen aus den 1920er Jahren und stehen am Eingang zum Volkspark. Der linke Bär ist in den Wirren der letzen Tage des Krieges verschollen und wurde erst 2011 durch eine originalgetreue Kopie ersetzt.

Here on location in Millbank, London, UK expressionist painter Stephen B Whatley makes another painting of Tate Britain; his first made in 1997 during the gallery's centenary year. (the 1997 painting, now in a private collection in Japan, can be seen on this site).
This painting was created throughout a sunny but freezing day in December 2003 - the day, in fact, of the Turner Prize Ceremony. JMW Turner (1775-1851), much of whose work is housed in The Clore Gallery, to the right of the main gallery, was a genius painter - and sadly, his name has been given to this elitist Art Prize that so rarely deigns to award to any 'art' of merit....Painting is alive & well - and this artist was determined to meet the challenge.Not surprisingly he was the only artist creating at The Tate on this day. The complete painting can be seen on this site.

Abstract expressionist with movement. :)
The array of color is quite amazing. I love discovering splashes of unexpected color presented in unusual ways throughout the city. So much incredible vibrancy.

Expressionist 1950s architecture with bad choice 1990s modifications on the windows.
In 2015 we went two times to France.
In the early Spring we've visited the Northern French coastline. In the summer we went much more Southern.
I knew from earlier travels that this two trips would be a guarantee for pure French automotive discoveries. Like all my French travels also this trip wouldn't disappoint me...

A new architectural painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley; commissioned by The Trustees of St Vincent's Nursing Home, Eastcote, Pinner, UK.
The artist visited St Vincent's Nursing Home on a sunny but freezing day in January and took photographs and made several graphite drawings and notes of colour sensations that inspired the painting; created in March 2022.
Whatley - whose work has been published in TIME - is noted for his contemporary architectural paintings, commissioned by The Royal Collection of Buckingham Palace, the BBC and the Tower of London - where there is a permanent walkway of his series of 30 paintings at Tower Hill, commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces in 2000.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in private collections worldwide and other public collections including the London Transport Museum and Westminster Cathedral.
