my alma mater is having a juried alumni show. i sent in four drawings and they chose these two to be in the show. the blue piece with the low horizon is a smaller piece, 8" x 5", and the grey one is a larger endeavor at 20"x 15". my arm about fell off after that one. i couldn't finish it in one session! i'm pretty happy with them. it's hard to see in pictures, but there's a lot of detail and many colors in each piece even though the overall effect is of a singular hue. i'll have to post a detail pic sometime. now to get them framed and shipped off to west virginia! wish i could go to the show, but my family will be visiting and it's a bit of a trip. any suggestions on titles? i hate titling my work....

ReplyDeleteThe top photo(blue) reminds me of calm waters with the sunlight creating a bunch of tiny diamonds. Calm Waters?
ReplyDeleteThe second is harder. It looks like nightfall or someone pulling a shade. Are blues and grays the only paints used? It's amazing what can be accomplished with seemingly otherwise simple colors.
