2 New smaller ones from my "pond" series. The first one will be the only one with a real horizon line. A bit of abstraction. A bit of realism. I also like the photo-like quality of the shots. These are fun.
This is another one that starts with a piece of photo. It is an assignment from my mentor. The small photo at the center is my grandfather in his Naval Uniform before shipping off to the pacific in WWII.
I'm fairly happy with this one. It is doing a lot while doing a little. It's a different perspective, looking up. I am also finishing up my report on Peter Doig, April Gornik, and Verne Dawson. I talk in my paper about "the other" and how these artists move between worlds. I'm using a bit of narrative to make the viewer ask questions. The large unearthly plant at the center is called "Adam's Needle," and while it is a real plant, it can seem quite surreal to a first time viewer. I also think I endowed it and personified it a bit.
The storm one I'm working on is inspired by April Gornik. Trying to bring a lot of emotion to some storm clouds. Hers is an inner landscape of emotion.

I love these scenes from a pond! Keep it up, it may get a little tedious but it's going to be worth it!
Me too! You can actually see the ripples in the water...amazing.
I also love the two trees from week 6 and the sailboat painting from week 7.
What on earth does your basement look like with all these paintings in it...
