Underneath the buildings you can see in the painting (represented by various colours) there are 'ghostly' appearances of buildings which are black like the background . So you only see them when you look at the painting from the side. I agree, that if I add that same red tone of a colour to the city it will look less like the red is an afterthought. I will work more on the painting in the next two days and will see what happens. In painting, there is the discussion on the one side, an then the actual work and progress that often need to go into a different direction to follow the palette, the composition, eye movement and all the other rules. I think I remember you said you come from painting so I am sure you understand what I mean. I will respond to what I have so far now and will hopefully be able to show images of the finished painting by Wednesday. Would you like to Skype in two to three weeks, once more studio work is done ? transartIHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310159307923099970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909682013990446428.post-72766509757080392422017-03-12T12:01:41.654-07:002017-03-12T12:01:41.654-07:00Not that you have time, but I'd love to hear m...Not that you have time, but I'd love to hear more about yours and Andrew's thoughts about the gestural vocabulary in the painting. That, and the idea that "red" ought to be more present in the history of the painting, and not introduced as almost an afterthought, really catch my attention here. I'm eager to begin thinking about painting in such ways that are still unfamiliar to me...Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523414870656903270noreply@blogger.com
