Day one: Bench and grass composition

On the way home I go through the nearby university campus. It is all grass and yellow brick buildings and a nice place. Today I came across a few things there (just up the hill from the lake):

1: a grass and blue band composition.
2: an asphalt composition
3: a grass and bench composition





I really like abstract art. That is probably why my photos always end up being people-devoid, right-angled, contrasty images. The way that some artists can make a painting be both abstract and recognisable at the same time really impresses me - when at best, such a picture just sits there shifting between the two states.

For instance, take a look at Matisse's Harmony in Red or Miro's Hand Catching a Bird. At first Matisse's painting doesn't seem abstract, but after a while the surfaces and patterns begin to take over.
