Red White and Blue

I am currently struggling with a couple of watercolours - another "old man" and another "young people in love". To have a break, I looked over my many photographs on the computer. I was attracted to these three because of the fresh red, white and blue colouring. They remind me of how I enjoy colour in paintings and to emphasize that in my next two efforts.
Are photographs art, or just a technical exercise? I have seen some wonderful photographs in galleries recently. This is an ongoing debate in many circles. Share your thoughts.

It's All About Colour

Painting is all about colour. There is no painting without colour - even if it is in black and white - although some would say that those are non-colours. Design, compostion, theme or subject are superimposed on colour. The following two paintings are purely a response to colour.
This of course opens up the whole discussion about what is art -more on that later.
