After what seems like forever, I am finally finished with all the major elements of my latest piece titled “Anticipation”.
I have a few items left to do on the faces, add some pink to Elizabeth’s shirt, but otherwise I be done with this one.
It is amazing to me what light and pigment can accomplish by tricking the mind. A painting is nothing more than shapes of different colors and values but in the end the brain somehow wants to makes sense of it.
Kind of takes the pressure off when I consider our brain will actually “see” the objects being painted even if it has to abandon reality to make that happen.
I like to abandon reality as much as I can so this painting thing seems like a perfect fit.
