Crossing The Desert

$650.00

Lately I'm focusing on building my skills (and using up my black so I can replenish my paints into just the shades and primary colours..) so I made this dark desert, at first I visualised a floating crossing in the desert and as I painted I decided to make it never ending and then on an adventure with my mum an idea popped into mind where I should paint trees that bend downward into street lights. I also decided to change the way I paint desert grounds, adding more detail. I think that if I organised myself better I could have added more detail, we'll see how these skills progress. So essentially it's up to the viewer to decide how they interpret the painting. I like to see it as a pathway made especially for you, forming itself as you as it progresses, directing you where you need to be. Oil based, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity!

Perspectives

I found it interesting how people have a different perspective of you as you, for instance, successful people could make it look easy while from their perspective they would see all the hard work. So I made a mirror reflection of a woman where her reflection shows the wrinkles and everything normal while the woman on our side is made of gold. I haven't yet mastered how to paint gold although I'm a firm believer that when you have an opportunity to finish a painting, it's done and that's a reflection of your skill level at the time. So this is my skill level on painting gold at the moment, hoping to improve. I also managed to convince myself a week before finishing this painting that I couldn't paint people... PMS. So I finished the painting and I can paint people. This was definitely a challenge! This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones and always sold with hooks ready to hang!

I decided to paint a painting practicing elements I've used in other recent paintings, the stripy sky and instead a continuous chocolate block as land. I feel like this painting would have been finished even without the bicycle in it. It's up to the viewer to decide how they interpret this painting. Oil based, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity!
