Art Talk: Sunrise as abstract art

It has been quite awhile since my last Art Talk post. I will be starting with weekly posts again in October.

As I was editing these pictures of Lake McDonald at sunrise I thought it would be fun to do a post about them as abstract art.

According to Tate.org.uk

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect

I love how these sunrise pictures are shapes and colors and forms!

Even in black and white

Do you see the lake, mountains and clouds or is it more abstract for you?
