African Nouveau (Weekend Reflections # 139)

 I saw these Ceramic Sculpture reflections in the window of an art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 Woodrow Nash: "African Nouveau is the term I use to describe my present body of work. It’s specifically African and European in influence.  The images are African in general with the graceful, slender proportions and long undulating lines of 18th century Art Nouveau.  The concept is 15th century Benin, a former kingdom in Africa flourishing from the 14th - 17th century.  Both styles were often asymmetrical, using decorative shapes and ornamental motifs derived from natural forms.  The two styles lend themselves well to each other.   Hence the term “African Nouveau”. 

 Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Dividing Lines (Weekend Reflections # 138)

(I'm still on a blogging break but I might be able to stop by and say hello every once in awhile until things get back to normal in June. All is well. I'm just moving again.)

 I think the reflections on the left are on marble and the middle and right are on glass.

Tumbleweeds (Weekwnd Reflections # 136)


 A reflection in a store window. I was trying to just capture a reflection of the old woman and the fountain, but this guy walked into the frame. Oh well, the more reflections the merrier. What's that? You thought I was calling these people tumbleweeds? Come on, would I do that? The sign above the woman's head says "Tumbleweeds Cocina".  :o) Actually, I feel like a tumbleweed myself. I'm hitting the road this weekend and I won't have much computer time for the next few weeks. I scheduled several Weekend Reflections posts in advance so have no fear. :o)
