This one looks done to me. Had a great meeting with my mentor, Christine Willcox from Macalester College in St. Paul, this week. Talked a lot about some of the things that came up in the Residency. Also, she gave me some more practical ways to execute these ideas especially in the works I'm creating now like the one above. Talked about mixing colors, looking at edges, and trying to keep things simple. Looking at nature and photography, etc.
Working on trees. Lots of greens and blacks.
These two sort of go together. Didn't realize it at first, but they both started off so similar and I'm working from photographs from the same day and place.
This one has departed from the Freidrich I originally looked at quite a bit. Took out the fox. Like the sparse, "end of the world," feeling here that was described by Eliza in one of my critiques! Thanks, E! Oh, and it is State Fair time here. I've always been bitter about never being accepted into the Art Contest. Next year I may change mediums and try out for the "Seed Art Competition."
