My design background often gives me tunnel vision. When I travel, instead of trying to hit all the tourist places and looking at the big picture, I end up ditching the crowds to examine stuff really up close and personal.
I actually love the photograph that inspired this painting. You can visit my Flickr page to see if you can spot it. However, having made the painting, I now see that it gained an otherworldly, ethereal quality.
True, I was aiming for something like this but didn't know how I would pull it of - at least not until the painting was very nearly done!

Public Announcement: This blog post is part of a collection of 354+ posts from my original Wordpress blog "Dreaming Into Being" library. I've now retired and migrated it to “Wander & Paint,” my new blog posts at the United Wanderlust art shop. As time allows, I will be reviewing, editing, condensing, updating and releasing a number of these blog posts but not all of them.
Some posts require more precision surgery than others. I'll also probably be publishing new posts as the muse wills it and father time allows. This whole process may take a while but I think these blog post serve as great documentation of my process and reminds me of certain milestones. So, most of them will be made available again- at some point.
