reworking…more
Here is the piece…tentatively called Dark Water, after quite a bit of reworking. (you can see the first ‘finished’ version in a post below) This is much more solid. The painting before steered me too much. While at times it is interesting to let a painting direct you to find, perhaps that you end up someplace new, in this case the painting pulled me along into a less than satisfying spot.
I am building a play between realism and pattern. Strict realism is enticing and the desire is to head that way at times but there are so many other ways of playing with a subject than just rendering. The most challenging is walking the fine line between ‘real’ and design.
