More Domestic Images from a Summer Trip

After visiting family in Linthicum, Maryland, we drove a week or so later another four hours to Caledonia, Ohio, to visit our third daughter and her family (six kids, and another coming soon) on their homestead. Again I used the Lensbaby Spark lens to capture the family interactions and rendered the images in black and white. On the day before we left I took my usual 40-minute walk in the Ohio countryside, looking for pleasing combinations of landscapes and skies. Those images, taken with the Sigma 12-24mm wide angle Art lens, are in color. Paul Johnson in his Art: A New History observed that landscape paintings in the 19th Century were as much about the skies as the land. I’m sure he’s right. See what you think from the color images below. (The first image is of my son-in-law, Bruce, cutting grass.)
