What I Saw/What I Made: Rock Abstract



There are certain beaches here with large bluffs rising above them where, at certain times, under certain light, the rocks glow a beautiful, warm orange color. In these two photos I show you what I saw and then what I made.

The first photo is an overview of the bluff face, rising up from the sand. See the big swath of orange? Moving in closer, I focused on just a little section of that rock face. The bluff is maybe 30 feet high and the orange rock area is around eye level.

My talent — and my downfall — is that I rarely see the "big picture," but I'm good at finding little things to zoom in on. This is an instance where I forced myself to take more of an overview so that you could see what I was seeing. Click the images to see them larger.
