Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
When out in the landscape looking for interesting subjects to paint I focus on the shapes I see instead of the things I see and use time-honored Principles of Design to create strong compositions for paintings that will attract and hold a viewers attention. Take a look at the interesting geometric shapes in the photo of a very plain and ordinary scene. I was attracted to the shape of the blue house with an unusual slant to it's roof and used that attraction to create a simple but strong composition! Finally I took artistic liberty to turn a gray day into a bright sunny one and painted Past Perfect how I wanted it to be instead of how it actually was!
