This is one of three pieces I have been working on and it seems as the temperature drops here in New Zealand, so the contrast darkens in my work. I have always been a lover of a strong black line with its potential for drama, and I think that is apparent in this piece. Below is the first landscape in this trilogy, and although signed does at this point feel a little unfinished so I may possibly revisit this.
Below are the starting points of the three landscapes. Middle image was the beginnings of the work featured on the easel.
I love the one on the easel Gill. And maybe the latest is unfinished by comparison . . . only you can decide.
Thanks Wendy, unsure why I decided to compare as both pieces, through working on them, develop a time and place of their own even though the starting point is the same. Will add an image to the post later to clarify.
