Father and Son Beach Walk by Jo Ann Tomaselli
JO ANN TOMASELLI ~ FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Hopefully this week-end you’ll be doing something fun like walking on the beach with a loved one ~ or loved ‘thing’ like your camera!
Sunrise on the beach is a wonderful time to take photographs.
The heat of the day is not yet evident, the blue of the sky is still a promise and as the rising sun breaks the horizon, the sand, the sea and the ocean are painted in hues of yellow gold and brown.
Shooting directly into the sun, the camera exposes for the sky and whatever is in the foreground, in this case a father and his son, are rendered in silhouette.
Enjoy your weekend ~ where-ever you are and what-ever your doing!
Happy Labor Day!
Jo Ann

Artist Statement
I am an artist living in Washington State. My artistic life began at a very young age when I was introduced to oil painting in elementary school. Throughout my life I have explored various other media. I enjoy using oils, acrylics, watercolor, inks, and digital tools. My subjects range from traditional to abstract. As long as I am creating, I’m happy.
I’ve been selling originals and reproductions of my work online for quite a few years. People all over the world have purchased my art and it is wonderful to connect with so many.

“Little Angels”
Angel Fish Art
Pen and Ink on Illustration Board

1993
I am still digging around through my old portfolio. I found these little angels swimming in the ocean of boards and papers. They looked so crisp and clean until I scanned them and saw the close ups. You can see the irregularities in the amount of ink applied to different areas. There is also an ink “bleed” on the lines. I am sure I was quite pleased back then, but with the perfectionism of the computer age, this would not fly now. 😉

These beautifully shaded roses are still blooming despite the drought and are very pleasing to the eye.
