Granite abstract #16

This abstraction was made whilst I was on an early morning   poodlewalk   with Kayla:

It was  early in the summer of 2019 (mid-January) as the early morning light was on  the granite  rock face.

sand abstraction

What appears to be permanent is really impermanent: 

The forms in the sand and the soft light in the littoral zone during  the summer-time are ephemeral. They exist for a moment in  time.  

quartz abstraction #4

This macro abstraction of quartz was made on an afternoon  poodlewalk with Maleko along the rocks west of Dep's Beach:

This was made a week or so before the January heatwave in South Australia when it was possible to walk amongst he coastal rocks  in the late afternoon sun. 

granite abstraction #8

This abstraction was made on a recent poodlewalk between the king tides in  mid-winter:

I was attracted by the subtle tonality of the granite rocks. I  had to to lay on my stomach  on the wet ground  to get the shape I wanted. 

sea abstract #4

Another recent attempt at a sea abstract: 

I am finding making these kind of sea abstractions  a bit hit and miss as the sea is constantly changing  its shape. The waves move very quickly as well. 

granite column

This abstraction was made on a recent poodlewalk along the coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula, just  west of Dep's Beach 

I was scoping for a film shoot. This one is accessible at low tide  and I am able to  use a tripod.
