Another older painting, and my all time favorite. There is so much texture in the background, which I just love.
I was taking a course with Wendy Welch (http://www.vancouverislandschoolart.com/), and she had us put an assortment of imagery onto our backgrounds, using matte medium. Unbeknownst to us, the next step was to paint over most of the imagery! It was a good lesson in not becoming too attached to a specific part of a painting so that, if something goes awry in a particular area, you simply paint over it and move on.
Wow!! I do love Raven’s …you have captured his essence so very well .. love it !!! Susanne
And it looks even better on the wall in your house. Definitely a favourite.
ahhh, yeah, Water From The Well. That one has a great color palette – pink and orange. Thank you!
