Untitled by Julie Marks
The imagery in this rock art abstract is rich in detail, color, / texture and imagery. Please view this in the large format / to appreciate the intricate detail. This is a great piece / for you to project what you perceive. Remember the / more you look, the more you will see. When I return / to an abstract, the beauty of non representational / art is that everytime you view the piece, you will / see another image. I find the process of / abstract “Rorschachs” fascinating in clinical practice / and art. The crimson and blues are often used in / Asian paintings. My first perception was a dog with orange ears / and brown eyes. What do you think is a good title for this piece?

Autumn Leaves by Julie Marks
This is the most beautiful time of the year when / the leaves fall in striking and colorful combinations. / Although, the artist is nature and there is no / preconceived composition, these vibrant / leaves create a beautiful abstract. It is important to view this in the large format to enjoy the / impact of these vibrantly colorful leaves. “Every October it becomes important, no, necessary / to see the leaves turning, to be surrounded / by leaves turning; it’s not just the symbolism, / to confront in the death of the year your death, / one blazing farewell appearance, though the irony / isn’t lost on you that nature is most seductive / when it’s about to die, flaunting the dazzle of its / incipient exit, an ending that at least so far / the effects of human progress (pollution, acid rain) / have not yet frightened you enough to make you believe / is real; that is, you know this ending is a deception / because of course nature is always renewing itself— / the trees don’t die, they just pretend, / go out in style, and return in style: a new style.” Poem: Leaves / Poet: Lloyd Schwartz

Drapery by Linda Sparks
It’s rock, all rock. It’s fluid and drapes like tapestry. It’s sandstone that will peel the flesh off your wrists, elbow, and knees. It’s light and darkness. It’s all a part of the slot canyon experience. I want to go back. Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, Az. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 on sunset setting. No PS color adjustments.

Ocotillo Up Close by CynLynn
What a beautiful desert plant. It is found from southern Nevada thru the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts. Ocotillo is a drought-deciduous shrub, appearing to be all “stems”. It produces tiny leaves after the rains. It also produces red flowers and fruits every spring. The Native Americans ate the flowers and fruits and powdered roots were used to treat wounds.

About This Group
The focus of this group is on photographs of the textures and structures of natural materials.
It may be the beautiful grain patterns of wood, the surface of stones, crystals of snow and ice, the colour and details of fabric, rusty metal, colourful plastics and more.
The idea is to see natural textures, colours and details of materials. Often this means the image is rather “flat” compared to full shots of objects.
Main rules are: 80% of the image must show the texture.
No paintings, no people, animals or water photos, no simple macro shots, no manipulated images, no text or framing and no digital art.
We will change the groups Avatar regularly and the owner of the chosen image will be a featured member of the group.
