I have been working on this painting for the last couple of weeks. I took the photo of it outside and ended up with a lot of glare, (the sky is really more blue than green) it must be all that snow outside reflecting back on it. I found as I worked on this painting that the more details I edited out the happier I was with it. It was a difficult composition to work with because the overpass split the painting in half. I may go back to this piece after it has sat for a bit.
it looks wonderful - like a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteLooks good from where I'm sitting. Very successful composition, lots of interest and movement. I'm looking forward to seeing what changes you add.
ReplyDeleteTammy, i like it..the darks and the balance of colors. Well done! Hope you will be able to join us for Leslie's Artists to Artists conference call tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love this painting, Tammy. Is this palette knife too? I am just mesmerized by how life-like those taillights and their glow are!
ReplyDeleteI've had something similar on my list of to-be-painted. But I haven't dared. I'm a bit happily surprised that a woman chooses this subject. Is it a sexist thing to say? Well anyway I love the painting, and I hope to have the courage one day to do mine.
ReplyDeleteLooks goodto me...There are many details, but it doesn't look too busy. I like it!
ReplyDeleteTammy - THIS rocks : ) The cars and lights read perfectly. And I love that reflection on the bottom of the overpass. SO good!! I'd like to see it in life.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work, Tammy! Wonderful atmosphere and indication of distant lights. So many dark on darks that work beautifully here.
