These images exemplify a part of who I am. I am fond of silhouettes. I find the vibrant colors at dusk against the stark black silhouette of a figure appealing. In art or in the moment, I will take a minute to soak in the beauty. I have included two pictures that display silhouettes of power lines. This is significant because as a child, I saw power lines as a constant part of the landscape while I daydreamed out the car window. I would wonder if power lines would eventually be included in artistic pictures. Would seeing the constant presence of power lines, which is an established fixture in California's central valley landscape, have a significant impact on the way people create art? Reflecting upon my childhood wonderment, I discovered that it has influenced people in two ways. In the picture by orcmid, three lines cut across the landscape at dusk. The lines become a fixture like the trees thus in the art because it happens to be there. It has also become a source of art, like in the picture by mlinksva. The silhouette of the power lines enhances the hues of the sky at dusk. It is included not because it is cutting through the piece so it is unavoidable, but is used purposely to enhance the natural setting behind it.
