A Street View painting done tonight. I'm including the screenshot and the painting to show how much I changed (for better or worse) the comp, colors, values, etc. This was an exercise; in futility? I'll wait a day or so to make that decision. I must admit I had lots of fun with the thick paint.
9"x 12", oil on linen
I like the license you've taken with the original photograph Bill. In fact, your version is way nicer than the original! I thank you too for helping me step outside the box a bit more. I'll try to remember this lesson for next month.
ReplyDeleteNothing futile about this vibrant piece. Lovely colour and texture.
ReplyDeleteI really like this... would you consider editing the tree out completely? Very interesting to see the ref photo and your interpretation of it.

I can't put my finger on it, but I hear music with this one! Lovely work all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks Autumn, Mick, Maggie and Tina.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I thought about leaving the tree out. I may revisit this one and chop that tree down in the future.
