Reflections in Time

(C) 2015 Photo Dale DiMauro

My wife and I have worked our way up the Maine Coast on our annual summer vacation with the weather turning much colder and damper. We have visited with relatives and even attended a high quality art show called "Gallery on the Green" in Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. 

The above photograph is inspiration for a future watercolor painting. What I like about this image is the presence of the building, abstracted in the water. The physical form of the structure is not visible, but it is clearly present beyond the frame. The shimmering quality of the water is not drowned out in color, yet there is much variation in the shadows of the pilings. In fact, there are so few colors that what color exists subtly covers a great range.
