Here is something I did during the summer. This was done with acrylic paint on a stretched canvas. I went to a small funtion where a group of painters gathered outdoors to paint. They set up tables and snacks and we just spent the day drawing or painting from the same scenery before us. This was my first time, and I was surprised to find it done on cemetary grounds. However, it wasn't as creepy as I thought it would be. It was actually very tranqual. This pond was the focus and this is what I saw and what I created.
I know... I know...this is not the same likeness of the scene in the photo but it was my interpretation of the scenery. Capturing the likeness of dull colors is something I am not too great at, I tend to favor bright colors. This is not my greatest work but I think I found another aspect of the scenery through my vision. It has a very carribean feel to it. By the way, painting is the funnest thing to do no matter where it is!!
Christina, this is sooo beautiful. I really love your interpretation, the colours do remind me of the carribean too.
ReplyDeleteThe group sounds like fun, always wanted to do that, to see other people's take on the same scenery. Very nice. :D
