This was a study done on the computer using different textural samples and arranging them into a compostion on the computer. Later I used the study as a guide, for a collage composition adhered to a primed Masonite foundation, by the same name, Where Visions Gather. (Shown earlier on this blog)
The above suggests a landscape seen as a reflection in a picture window, a favorite theme in my more recent realistic work, shown on my blog Ruth Zachary Montage.
The two shapes or formats for the different images shown here are proportioned differently. As you can see, even though there are similarities in parts of both compositions, dark and light areas were shifted to different places, and the general color range has been shifted from blue tones above to red and brown tones below. I like both compositions equally well. In the process of coating the papers with acrylic medium, they tend to appear darker, and more muted, than the computer image above. Both have a suggestion of landscape as a theme. My camera has a tendency to distort the true squareness of both the board and of the frame in the image below.
I see similar motifs in both compositions. There are landscape textures, with an organic feeling, and yet geometric forms lend an organizational force without being literally architectural. Also there is more of a sense of depth than is common in purely geometric compositions. I seem to be drifting toward organic compositions. At this point, I feel beckoned to explore the combination of both geometric and organic forms more fully in future work.
