Harvest Scarecrow with Pumpkins

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this Halloween scarecrow decoration during a fall drive through Ontario in 2018. The figure wears a red-and-white gingham shirt and a straw hat topped with sunflowers, its white pumpkin head surrounded by green raffia hair. Three orange pumpkins rest on log stumps at its base, with dried flowers and soft green grass nearby. The shallow depth of field keeps the scarecrow sharp against the blurred background. This seasonal display shows autumn festivities in rural Canada, combining traditional harvest motifs with playful Halloween decoration.

Unnamed Island, Thousand Islands

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this small, unnamed island in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The rocky outcrop rises from calm blue water, crowned with birch and cedar trees that cling to the granite. Late afternoon sun brings out the warm tones in the stone and the fresh greens of summer foliage. A single flat rock rests in the foreground water, adding scale and depth. The composition isolates the island against the surrounding water, showing the undeveloped character of this part of the St. Lawrence River. This aerial view captures the Canadian Shield meeting freshwater.

July 4th 2026 Fireworks At Boldt Castle

On July 4th, 2026, Duncan Rawlinson photographed the Independence Day fireworks bursting over Boldt Castle on Heart Island in Alexandria Bay, New York. Shot during the last minutes of twilight, the display filled the sky with gold, crimson, and violet while the fading sunset still glowed along the horizon behind the castle. Dozens of spectator boats gathered on the St. Lawrence River, their lights scattered across the water and the reflections of the show shimmering between them.

This is an annual tradition. See the fireworks at Boldt Castle from my previous years: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Icicle Branch Through Winter Trees

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. Bare branches frame a single limb heavy with icicles, its frozen formations catching the diffused light of a snowy afternoon. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the contrast between the dark trunks and the white ground, while a small building sits partially visible through the trees in the background. The composition draws the eye through the forest to the ice-laden branch at center, capturing the stillness of a cold day in rural Ontario.

Autumn Patchwork, 1000 Islands

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view over the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The low-angle light picks out individual trees in their fall colors scattered across open fields and along a pair of dirt roads that divide the frame. The terrain rolls gently, with patches of low vegetation in burgundy and rust tones filling the spaces between the trees. Shot from above, the composition reveals the texture of the land and the way the trees cluster and thin out across the hillside. The photograph shows the character of rural Ontario in autumn, where working land meets scattered forest.

Green Armada Wrecks on Red Blade

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence and contemporary digital art techniques. A file of nested green crescents stretches across the frame, each form riding inside the next, until the lead shape strikes a red blade rising from below. The collision sends the entire procession into a rolling pile-up, green rims grinding against red at the impact point in the left third. Flung cargo—an orange barrel, a blue bell, a yellow coin rimmed in white, and a violet plum—hangs suspended mid-crash. The grounded lead crescent, impaled on its red obstacle, anchors the composition. Dense green, coral red, and a warm beige ground fill the color scheme.

Coral Reef Glitch on Black

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence and digital art techniques. Red and blue forms ripple across a black field, their surfaces textured with glitch patterns and concentric circles. The composition suggests organic structures—coral, fans, or flowering shapes—rendered through computational processes. Warm reds shift into cooler blues along the edges, creating a horizontal band of color that draws the eye across the frame. Each segment varies in texture, from smooth gradients to sharp, striated lines. This AI-generated work examines how algorithmic processes can produce shapes that resemble natural forms while remaining distinctly synthetic.

Failing Border Between Red and Green

Duncan Rawlinson created this AI-generated artwork exploring the unstable boundary between two opposing color fields. A dark fracture line struggles to separate an intense red zone from deep phthalo green, but the division collapses as red tongues breach the green territory and green pushes back through gaps. Where the hues collide, a third intermediate tone appears, neither red nor green. Bright orange and yellow fragments mark earlier crossings. The composition reads as pure color under pressure, with the border fraying and the breach spreading across the frame. This piece blends digital art techniques with contemporary fine art abstraction.

Walker at Dusk

Duncan Rawlinson created this piece using artificial intelligence and contemporary digital techniques. A lone figure in a conical hat walks a stone path through rolling grassland as the sun sets, casting deep reds and oranges across the sky. Tall grasses bend in the evening air, lit by the fading light. Dark tree silhouettes frame the composition on either side. The work blends fantasy illustration with naturalistic lighting to depict a solitary traveler moving through an open field at day’s end.

Phthalo Plume Ruptures Orange Crust

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence, blending digital art techniques with a contemporary aesthetic. A column of phthalo blue rises through a fractured layer of cadmium orange, scattering textured fragments outward along a jagged seam. The blue surface is deeply fluted, with vertical striations that run the full height of the form. At the apex, a small purple tab meets a contrasting yellow element. The orange crust shows granular, coral-like texture, with fine black hairlines tracing mineral-like inclusions. The composition isolates the moment of rupture, where two distinct materials meet and break apart. The piece explores form, color, and the tension between solid structure and explosive force.
