Description

This painting was done as part of an online workshop and exhibition: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/solo-exhibition/forums/12954/topics/218849-sojie-12-workshop?page=1 Artists were asked to pair up with photographers to create their translation of a selected photograph. I based this painting on a photograph by Darcy Grizzle: http://www.redbubble.com/people/dgrizzle/art/6029038-aspens-and-creek When I was looking at the photograph I had an intense feeling of calm and peace. It made me think how important it is that we have places like that, and that we humans might be endangering the existence of places like that. So I decided that my translation of the image should include a hint about these concerns. The painting is done on Arches 140lbs, cold press. The size of the original is 14x21inch.

i'm just amazed at how well you do at guiding the watercolor to make what you want rather than forcing it. i especially like the golden trees and the reflection. and you used such a different technique on the grass. i love the original photo, too, but you managed to take the subject matter to a whole other level. kudos!

A fabulous artwork with superb colouring and a great sense of timeless beauty. I agree we really do have to look after these wonderful places around us. Outstanding work.
