Working on the right half of the Castle now. Stone work and adding color. The detail in this piece, is making the work go slow but I am enjoying it.
Still deciding on what color to make the roof tiles. Normally I am a lot more decisive on these kind of decisions. But it is really hard to make out their color with Darling Husband's photographs.
This is Kumamoto Castle in Kyushu, Japan.
The photos my Husband took, were in winter and there was a big tree right in front of the main part of the castle. I decided not to paint the tree, as it distracted from the beautiful castle.
Decided to remove any ads, as I was finding them rather annoying to deal with.
One thing I personally hate is wading through, ad after ad to try to read a post or see the photographs.
Figured many would feel the same way.
About the Artist
~~Shari's work explores the relationship between Trompe l'oeil and surreal Abstracts. With influences as diverse as Leonardo da Vinci and Buckminster Fuller, new variations are generated from both explicit and implicit dialogues. Ever since she was a child, she has been fascinated by the theoretical limits of all Art. What starts out as vision soon becomes contemporaneously into a hegemony of wild abandonment, leaving only a sense of peace or chaos with the stroke of a pen and with the likelihood of a new reality. As wavering derivatives become clarified or distorted through diligent and critical practice, depending on my mood, the viewer is left with a new agenda of dream like thoughts or questions of our condition. Art should always be fun and experimental.
