"Coburg Hills" (2010)
A landscape should exhibit a profound structure, mostly based on value transitions, not just pretty colors. I am pleased with this painting that approaches such structural forms.
"From Eagle's Vantagepoint" (Workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: Some nice value transitions at top of painting but mountain lacks the structural forms in the first painting.
"View from Up Top" (Workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: ditto
"Demo piece" (Workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: a ligher key, lovely colors and forms, very fresh and spontaneous but not much structure. View had little opportunity for perspective.
"Demo piece" (workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: this one is barely started but was intended to demo use of big brush to block in shapes.
"Demo piece" (workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: shapes maybe too central. Also just getting started but shows use of big brush to indicate colors and forms in gestural fashion.
"demo piece" (Workshop retreat, 2010)
self-critique: demo of painting a landscape from imagination. Lacks plein air authenticity but result is still somehow satisfying in capture of memory of strong color and value contrasts.
Note: some of these paintings can be seen (and purchased) at Soriah's restaurant on 13th this month (September, 2010).
