Architectural Spaces

 

I mentioned on Monday that I went to two museums last Saturday.  My last few posts have been about the Scottsdale Museum of the West.  Today's post is about the exhibit at the Shemer Art Center.  The exhibit was called Architectural Spaces so all the works showcased the architecture all around us.  The piece above  is a photograph by Penny Ann Dolin called "Helios".  Ms. Dolin is a professor teaching commercial photography at Arizona State University.

Here is another photograph that I admired.  It was taken by John Kitts and it's called "Renaissance" which is appropriate since the photo depicts part of the facade of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix.  You can see one of my photographs of the same subject here.  My photos were taken with my Nikon digital camera.  Mr. Kitts' photo was taken with a 4x5 large format, film camera.  

I found the painting above very impressive.  When I walked up to it, I thought it was a photograph but it is an oil painting by Barbara Clements.  She calls it "The Stevens House".  

This last one is another photograph, this one by Joanna Profitt.  Joanna says that her "goal is to provide a visual interpretation of the spirit or soul of my subjects rather than a literal representation."  I found the image very appealing.  

I think that might be the Seattle skyline, what do you think?
