Fall Retrospective….
Three trees and a rhubarb plant. Still working on that 2nd tree, although changing the sky color kind of muted it. (It was a cobalt teal, a little too green for reality…but what is reality? Surely not a watercolor painting…)Now I’m moving indoors, looking out….
Nice window, nice tree, but that building should have more presence.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is going on in the second.
Don't know what is going on in the third but I like it. Wash out the paint on the right so it will look white like the right.
Rhubarb okay but could use more POP.
I think the last is a good start, but I wonder what is out the window.
I love your window and tree paintings. That first one is just drenched in sunlight. Beautifully done. Changing the sky makes it feel like there's a storm a-brewing—although that may just be the screen color. Love the top and right side of the third one. It's so airy and interesting. Maybe you need to rub out some of the leaves and add more yellow and white on the left? Or maybe you just start another one with better paper. Like the rhubarb, especially your varied use of greens against the ruby stalks. And I like the composition of the final painting and can't wait to see where it goes from here.
ReplyDeleteI’m still loving your outdoor shots looking out through the windows. Lately I especially love your representation of sunlight. It makes for great contrast in the painting. I’d try more of it on the buildings too. Interested to see what happens in the last one.
