This one is titled "Roots, Rocks and Grass". I shot it last fall as I was paddling along the shore of the Saranac River.
I find shorelines fascinating places. Being as they are the intersection of two dramatically different planes, places of friction and abrupt change. I'm not the only one who finds them so, or finds them awash with fodder for new art. The show currently featured at the Adirondack Artists' Guild Gallery displays a body of work by Guild member Suzanne Lebeda in which she explores the forms and textures that can be found at that juncture of land and water.
While this image focuses on the textures of the more land based elements, the presence of water always adds another layer of interest. The juxtaposition of the static, fixed solidity of the roots and rocks contrast with the fluidity of the grasses leading into the liquid, reflective movements on the water to create a wonderfully dynamic tableau. IMHO, a fine example of "found art". (And this seems a fine example of BS. Oh well.)
