Welcome back.
This week we’ll be continuing with the new painting that was started last week, the Sedona, Arizona that was inspired by the photo seen directly below.
When last we were together, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.
Since that time, I have continued working on the painting. I’ve now overpainted all the colors seen last week with the 3 original colors from an earlier cycle, or derivatives thereof. I will continue to use only those 3 (basic red, blue and yellow) and the original white. The change is not dramatic but will utlimately make for a more harmonious palette of colors.
I’ve also added to the structures.These will continue to be refined in the following weeks. The current state of the painting is seen below.
That’s about it for now. I’ll see you next week.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.
I’m thinking of a large blue psychic wave, breaking over like a devastating tsunami onto the forces of war and torture and cleansing the shoreline of a pollution of evil. I see neocons thinking of the inevitable drowning as they let out ‘the scream’ underneath the curling wall of the wave. It’s a horrible, but liberating picture.
That sounds more like a miniseries than a picture. 😉
Perhaps so, but a damn compelling miniseries it could be!
Thanks for sharing your painting with us. I do check in regularly to follow your progress and to enjoy you results. 🙂
Thanks!
It’s not exactly going into the big woods after the bear, a la Faulkner, but this reminds me of my dad, telling scary stories to his kids, while they sit around the campfire listening to the crackling logs and the distant water running in the creek.
I like the bare rock mountains in the back. My students (when I had 8 & 10 year olds), loved to see them in pictures, and would add them to pictures that they painted of all sorts of things – hovering, “guard mountains, sentinals”, one boy described them.
