Active Myrtle, quiet alley, oil on gessobord, 12x12"
I have been painting so many broad landscapes over the last year or so, that I started thinking long and hard a few days ago about a possible shift. It's not that I am bored with the subject matter by any means, but I am constantly wanting to improve my painting skills in other areas as well. I've been looking and studying so many artist who do urban observation really, really effectively and thought maybe I could move with baby steps in that direction. It requires more patience obviously, because of the detail involved, and it will sharpen my drawing skills. We shall see. I started with this alley scene so let me know what you think!
COOL!

ReplyDeleteI love it. You still have the color sense that I enjoy in your landscapes, and the distillation of a scene to its essential shapes is there, too. Beautiful!
