Abstract Art in Shapes, Lines and Transparency

Looks like abstract art.

When I looked at through my folder of photos of my garden in the snow a month ago I had a different perspective than back when I took them, likely because I’ve been working out there getting things started for the season. This one really caught my eye because it looks like an abstract piece I probably saw when I was a child, at the tail end of when this sort of thing was really popular. I can picture it in oil paint, but I would do it in pencil, it’s so delicate. The shadows of my bean poles riding up and over the snow piled over the wood around this garden bed, the darker pole itself and a hint of another, the gentle shadows in the snow itself, an abstract statement about shapes and lines, density and transparency, and space.

I wish I’d had some black and white film for my camera, in fact I went to look for it that day, but no luck, so I took the color photo and made it black and white in Photoshop.
