Description

A reflective view of boats docked for the day. The photograph is approximately 14" x 11". Marcia Smilack, the photographer, took the picture in 1992. For further information on the artist, contact her website at www.marciasmilack.com.  The picture that we are showing here of the photograph does not begin to do it justice.  We urge you to visit her website to get a real idea of her talent and the beauty of her photographs.  Below is part of the artist's statement from her website...

I photograph reflections on moving water. I collaborate with Nature to create what I call my Paintings by Camera. I use the surface of the sea as my canvas, the seasonal colors for my palette, and I  rely on the wind for my brushes. I have only one chance to capture an image before it morphs into another so I am at the mercy of whatever Nature decides to give me that day. I am like a fisherman who goes looking for the place where the blues are running or the yellows or the reds, and the images I reel in are always a surprise which is how I like it.
