Mare Hyperboreum - Dream or nightmare? Up to you. The surreal shapes come from photos of of a heap of oystershells and another of beach sand with some small mussels (taken, no, not in the far north or the dark side of the moon, but in Portugal). Combined with a texture by Siala on Pixabay (used under CC0 licence, with thanks) the result is a heavily textured surreal abstraction. Canon EOS 60D DSLR, Corel PSPX

I can't imagine the countryside here without the showy montbretia (Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora) . It is a hybrid, created in 1879 by French nurseryman, Victor Lemoine, who crossed two South African species, C. aurea and C. pottsii. Due to our mild winters here in the West they became naturalized and had become frequent in the countryside by the 1930s. This photo however is of a non-naturalized cultivar planted in one of my neighbours' garden It is somewhat darker than the bright orange naturalized hybrid. I gave it extra texture with a photo of a stone surface of a cottage nearby. (Canon EOS 60D DSLR, Corel PSP X)

Glenquin - Created from whole bunch of wall textures and cloudscapes shot at my place and a photo of the house of friends on the Burren in the West of Ireland. The house was also the setting - in the form of a parochial house - of an iconic TV series but that shall remain unnamed for IP reasons. Let's just say a lot of tea was served.

Abstract created from photographs of birch bark in my garden here in Ireland. I took the title from a poem by W.B. Yeats: A woman Homer sung ...

Grounded Abstract
Dandelion, from French dent-de-lion, meaning “lion’s tooth”, a reference to the little 'teeth' at the tip of its yellow petals. So many people try to eradicate this "weed" from their paths and lawns but look at just how beautiful a flower this is and, moreover, it flowers very early in the year and is an important early source of nectar and pollen for honeybees and wild bees. This work is a digital splashy watercolor render of a macro photo I took in my garden of the underside of a dandelion flower.

SOLITUDE Solitude is like a rain That from the sea at dusk begins to rise; It floats remote across the far-off plain Upward into its dwelling-place, the skies, Then o'er the town it slowly sinks again. Like rain it softly falls at that dim hour When ghostly lanes turn toward the shadowy morn; When bodies weighed with satiate passion's power Sad, disappointed from each other turn; When men with quiet hatred burning deep Together in a common bed must sleep— Through the gray, phantom shadows of the dawn Lo! Solitude floats down the river wan . . . (Rainer Maria Rilke) I digitally created this moody impressionist-style image from my 'January Dawn Sky In Ireland' photograph.

I am posting this in the last hour of the last day of 2021, a dreary and lonely year in the ongoing pandemic. The little bits of color to me symbolize the hope of better times ahead.

"Seawall" is a distressed abstract with a color gradient ranging from light blue through dark navy blue to cerulean. The colors are painted while the texture comes from a photograph of a wall with peeling paint.

So I bought this tasty little organic watermelon and rather than cutting it into wedges I cut it across the equator. Never before did I notice the whirls in its texture. I guess it has something to do with how the fruit grows. This minimalist work is a digital watercolor render of a photograph I took of a slice of the melon, showing a quarter of it on the top right and green negative space in the bottom left.
