Description
Abstract art can be beautiful, colorful and exciting, but there is a large group of people who cannot appreciate those attributes. For all the techies in the world, computer nerds, engineers, scientists, accountants and such, they must know: "What is that? What's it supposed to be? I don't get it! this group of paintings is for them. All the works in this gallery began life as a technical photograph. Some are photos from space of the cosmos; some are from the LANDSAT satellite taking pictures of the earth and others are from peering through an electron microscope. All these photos were then interpreted as watercolor or oil paintings so now you know exactly what you're looking at. A whole new world opens up!
Chesapeake Bay is the nation's largest estuary. The bay is the dark shape stretching up through the center of the image.Sediment in the water appears as light blue or green. The cities of Baltimore, Maryland and Washington DC are the two bright areas near the upper left. The peninsula across the Chesapeake from these cities is a patchwork of farm, forest and protected areas.
