Drifting Clouds

I'm not yet inspired 

by the muted colours 

of a slow to arrive spring

so....

I'm reaching into my photos

from last summer. 

Drifting Clouds - Leslie Snider

In this piece

 I was working with a relatively

 small palette of colours,

but was interested

 in the textural differences

between the airy summer clouds 

and the shimmering quality of the water.

As time passes 

I see I'm strongly attracted 

to compositions with 

strong horizontals 

and fairly shallow depth.

I think that is the influence

 of Tom Thomson,

an artist I admire.
