African Nouveau (Weekend Reflections # 139)

 I saw these Ceramic Sculpture reflections in the window of an art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 Woodrow Nash: "African Nouveau is the term I use to describe my present body of work. It’s specifically African and European in influence.  The images are African in general with the graceful, slender proportions and long undulating lines of 18th century Art Nouveau.  The concept is 15th century Benin, a former kingdom in Africa flourishing from the 14th - 17th century.  Both styles were often asymmetrical, using decorative shapes and ornamental motifs derived from natural forms.  The two styles lend themselves well to each other.   Hence the term “African Nouveau”. 

 Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Adobe Church (Weekend Reflections # 91)

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Another reflection from New Mexico. This time it's an adobe church and a white tree under a beautiful blue sky. It reflected in the window across the street.
I have a California reflection at my other blog.
