Citrus Slices oil/canvas 11 x 14 x .5 |
These terms all refer to a viewpoint that is atypical for painting. Shapes from above become so important. As do their shadows. I found that my usual process had to be discarded as harder edges were needed to help avoid visual confusion. And so, I have gained even more respect for two painters that excel at this presentation: Cleo Clark Williams from Canton, Ohio and Linda Tompkin from Copley, Ohio. As my strength does not lie in detail, I felt completed weighed down my this small project.
But, as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained....right?
