It's funny how hard it is to really see what's there when you're painting something that isn't part of your usual repertoire. This idea of a tunnel was quite perplexing to me. It presented a host of problems - some that are just inherent in painting a throughway - a hole, essentially, through a solid structure - some that come from creating an interesting design within a square - the whole value/contrast/hue/saturation equation - another that came from the dilemma of abstract, realistic....realistic, abstract... You can that see my general confusion and indecisiveness from yesterday is still with me : )
I have 2 - 3 more paintings to do with this portal theme. It'd be great to stick with it, just to prove to myself that I can do it - even though it's uncomfortable. After all, each and every painting really does present exactly the same kind of riddle, don't you think?
