"Whose Phone?" 9x12, oil on linen panel. I must give credit for this title to another artist in our paint group. Without them, I would not have that spark of fun and creativity- they keep me honest and laughing.This one needs more tweaks,but gee it was fun. Took several rounds to finish, and I became aware of using a different set of painting methods...
The location is near Florence Alabama, the Bluewater Polo club, I think. I've taken photos there, but this one came from another artist friend.
Here are the headless horses and riders in the beginning stage. I'm just setting down colors as shapes like a jigsaw puzzle, having a good time.
Having a fuzzy photo is really and advantage here - I don't get bogged down. Well, maybe that's not completely true........"Whose phone?" is still wet. If you are interested in purchasing, contact me directly robinroberts4@gmail.com
Love the wonderful loose feeling of this and the way you changed the background colors to a much more interesting palette. With this great result from a "fuzzy reference"...I think I'll take a lesson and start blurring mine out. Really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly wonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the start and the reference photo ~ so interesting to see how it developed.
