I'm not yet sure that this painting is finished but I know it is very close. In all honestly this one was very difficult for me. It was a puzzle of sorts getting all the pieces to fit but the hardest part was making the water puddles read...at least I hope they read.
Looks done to me. Love the dumpsters and bits of turquoise.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot, Dana. I think you did a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteThis really is an amazing painting. Did you draw the design on the canvas before you started painting, because your proportions are fantastic?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jerry! I draw the design on in paint in large shapes first using the negative shapes to help me with proportion, then breaking the larger shapes into smaller shapes kind of like a puzzle.
Deletethey read, and beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI think the composition is great. It's an interesting abstract with lots of pieces that all work! (I like it as a realistic alley, too!)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...I think I'm on Balboa Island! Nice work, Dana. I agree with Jerry. Well drawn.
ReplyDeleteYou really reduced the complexity of this into such harmony-love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this alley scene.Great composition and color palette.
ReplyDeleteWonderful patterns of geometric shapes. Yes your puddles read perfectly
ReplyDeleteWonderful geometric shapes that make up this scene. Great color and yes you puddles read. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHa, the puddles look effortless and perfect! They are a wonderful pathway into the painting. Lovely.
