Fountain Place
I picked this landscape by Dan Kiley as I am instantly drawn
to how it creates a refuge within a busy city environment as well as his
creativity in doing this. Kiley has used reflections extremely well here,
firstly by creating what looks like a swamp but a much cleaner and inviting
urban one at that. The reflection with the building’s windows have also been
used to give the space a good illusion that makes it feel much wider than it
is. To me, it looks like the perfect place to take a break from work, and I
would like to sit beneath the cool spot created away from the Texas sun If I was
there. I also find the simplicity of the composition very appealing as it creates
a very tranquil environment.
