The top one is another version of my last Up the Hill acrylic, but this time done in a different format, and painted in watercolour. The second is a composite picture - based on a lane in the village where I was born, and also on the old road linking Niton to Blackgang on the Isle of Wight. Well, it used to, before the cliff fell on it, anyway.
While I'm at it - I took a photograph of my Dream House painting that didn't come out at all as planned: I was going to bin it, but actually it looks rather interesting, I think: I'm not sure you'd know it was a photograph of a painting at all: so have a look at the image below and see what you think...
If I'd been TRYING to capture this effect, I would most certainly have failed - I don't quite know how it happened - using a Vivitar digital camera with low battery power might be the reason. And it looks as though it needed the flash, which wasn't turned on. Bet I couldn't do this again, anyway.
I do like the second painting, Robert - there's something about the queasy angle of the horizon that makes it look as if I'm in a dreadful hurry but still, er, running up that hill. With no problem.
ReplyDeleteThe Dream House photo looks like low light with a bit of motion blur to me... nice effect, though!
Well, I'll take the nice effect, if nothing else is on offer! Sort of works though, doesn't it? Maybe I could sell it twice......
