Created to look like a vintage photograph, this is a view of Nyhavn Harbor in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was there in December and the lighting is very interesting as the sun only rises so far in the sky and sets early. Followers of my work will know my fascination for contrasting light and shade and this was a great opportunity to explore the effects I could get with that.
Nyhavn Harbor in Copenhagen is picturesque and actually very colorful which I have captured in some of my other images. In this low color photograph, I was trying to capture the different shapes of the houses, roof lines, ship masts etc as well as the busyness of the place as a bustling harbor with tourists, cafes, shops and the moored vessels.
Moored in the harbor at one end are various historic boats which adds to the feeling of being lost in time. It is easy to imagine people moving backwards and forwards alongside the edge of the harbor in times past, much the same as they do today.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
An artist and blogger, I specialize in photo art and acrylic painting. For my photo art, I start with my own photographs and work on them digitally to capture the feeling I want to convey with the final image. For my abstract work, I literally 'go with the flow' and follow where my heart wants to take me as I work.
I create art to make your heart smile, capturing the spirit of place in towns and villages, or creating art to enhance the energy of your home or workplace. Take your time to look through my portfolio, I hope you enjoy it.
