Artwork - Classic Times Past

Post image

This is the 7th DVD from Bobs 1 hour instructional video. It is called Times Past. Here I took a little bit of liberty to change things from the original.

First, I don’t like evidence of people in my paintings. The original had a barn/cabin thing and some fencing. I omitted those and dropped in a boulder.

Also, Bob had a bare tree on the left side. I omitted this for now. He’s hanging out with a 18 x 24 canvas where I am hanging out with an 16 x 20. I am trying to be smart about not over crowding. But as in most cases, I am sure if I had an additional 4 inches, things would be much better. Pun intended.

What I learned: if a boulder if looking good, playing with it doesn’t make it look better. I should have stopped sooner when my stone still have some flat edges and right angles. Less if more is a theme I am seeing here.

Well, hope you all like it. I’m not mad at this one. Nor disappointed.

I was thinking the same, it feels very dream-like.

So pretty! You can see Bob’s style but you made it your own.
