Indigo Sky by Jo Ann Tomaselli

“Only in men’s imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence.

Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life” Joseph Conrad

When shooting the same coastal landscape every day, as I do in my Sunrise Sunset Image Art Series, it can be a challenge to create something visually new. At times like these, I let my imagination wander far and wide, using many tools to create an artistic rendering of a familiar scene.

A beautiful early morning autumn season scenic landscape view of the famous Boulder Colorado Flatirons, foothills of the front range of the Rocky mountains. If you look in the trees you can see a red country barn.

Artists, such as musicians and authors, receive royalties each time their artistic works are used or sold. Hear a song on the radio and you know that its creator will receive a check for its use. That is not always true for visual artists.  How often has the astute art patron bought an artist’s early work, which they later sell for many times the price?  The artist may have a copyright in the work but not in the resale of the original. Well, that might be changing. The Copyright Office has just issued a comprehensive report, “Resale Royalties: An Updated Analysis,” which proposes legal changes to copyright laws that will allow visual artists to receive royalties every time their original work is resold.

My first big outing since my surgery was north of the Golden Gate on Sunday.  After we were greeted by the colorful pelican (from yesterday’s post), we went to Rodeo Beach.  It was a gorgeous day!

Many photos have been taken of the unique rock formations at this beach, but I knew I couldn’t walk that far on the sand with my knee the way it is…at least not yet.   So I started looking at what else I could come up with.  The funny thing is that often I am looking out in the distance for an image rather than right in front of me.  I think my macro has taught me to look closer so I guess it helped me in this case.  It “enlightened” me.  🙂
