I have been planning this painting since we went to Yellowstone in 2009. I didn't know how to make it work visually until now. The 100 paintings in 100 days surely helped with the painting vision. The reason I took this photo was the complementary color scheme, the strangers standing so close to each other taking pictures of the same subject. They were in such harmony - the tourists on a mission. I was going to call it blue and orange but thank goodness my partner in crime came up with "Shoot the Falls" it's a much better title in so many ways. It's great to get some help and feedback. I recommend finding someone to help with titles, they are more removed from the process and can see it in a different light.
Buy it cause you like it!
When I first looked at this, I thought "Oh wow...she put her favorite blue/orange combination into this." You are right (why am I not surprised?) with regards to the continuous painting helping with vision. It changes, doesn't it? I have painted some things that I really thought I could not paint. They are not masterpieces, but I am plugging along.
ReplyDeleteThe focus of this painting for me is, what is over that guard rail, My Yellowstone memories. BTW: My snowy chickadees are supervising my typing. I really love them! Thank you and thank you for the "Any way you slice it" card. Best. Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words. The vision does change, evolve, grow - if it didn't it just wouldn't be that interesting. It's so hard for me to paint the same thing over and over again(remember the 4 roosters?). That's why you get such a variety of images from me. I really like to try it all - it keeps the work interesting, challenging and I don't get complacent - there's really no time for that nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI'm just so thankful you all like the work and get some enjoyment from my blog.
You're the best!
