meditation on light and dark

colour and composition class project#1

acrylic on 3, 5x7 canvasses

project guidelines:

• Light and dark is a fundamental fact of our existence as the cycle of night and day demonstrates. It is a powerful metaphor, which is at the core of many of our narratives. It underlies the structure of all composition and visual organization. It is a major contrast present in all colour relationships.
• It is the starting point for the first project, one that might take you in many directions. Explore it physically, metaphorically, culturally, symbolically and in any number of ways. Think, imagine and challenge yourself.

UPDATE
this is the photo that inspired my project. i took it last summer while up at the cottage. i miss it there. sigh.
