These are by a French Canadian photographic artist, Denis Collette. I love his use of color, and his approach to his art. He photographs the area surrounding his home, then uses the photographs as inspiration for these impressionistic creations.

Inner Light

End of Autumn

Ordinary Miracles

The Blue Spirit of Giverny

"First, the majority of my pictures are taken on my homeland… I use a similar approach as Thoreau… For me, photography is a metaphysical approach… I don’t decide on subjects… it’s the light who decides… and when my heart says… 'OK Woodsman'… I shoot!!! :))"

Been to an arts museum recently and saw some paintings which were as exact as photography!

These are beautiful. I esp. like the colors and soft undulations of this one though.

The first one reminds me of looking up at trees from just under water level. The 2nd is is so 'autumny' (is there such a word?). Both are beautiful and I like them.

I love the first one since that's what it looks like around here this time of year.

But they're all nice!

I like his technique, this one is so vivid and light, lovely to hang up on the wall during the cold and dark months.

There are so many layers to those photos. The subjects the colors the textures the fluidity. I could make up stories for each one. I don`t know why the thought of Gone with the Wind struck me.
