| "On the Shore, (study)" oil on panel, 6x8 |
Sometimes a small image or even a tiny one can inspire an idea. Some years back I saw a very small snapshot of a figure standing on a tiny spit of land. Whoever made the photo did a great composition, though it was not in color, only greyscale. I did this study of the figure and shoreline, and invented some of the shore, using only a few colors (y.ochre, b.sienna and probably cerulean blue), trying very hard to use limited strokes, each placed and then left alone without blending overmuch. Although this never made it to a finished work, perhaps I should give it some repeat consideration.
