These area couple painting done in class- the portrait in figure, 2 hours, the second done in painting class in downtown Sarasota from the 3rd floor of a parking garage, also 2 hours. I'm not happy at all with the landscape- I had grand visions of painting a scene akin to Lopez Garcia's Madrid cityscapes....haha. Maybe in a couple lifetimes.
I was also being inspired by the work of Ben Aronson. His landscapes have an awesome sense of space, and his compositions are always unique and inventive. A few of his scenes from rooftops are obviously influenced by Diebenkorn- at once they are landscapes with awesome atmospheric perspective, and at the same time they are obviously flat designs. Great textures as well, check him out!
Wow Ben Aronson's work is breath taking!
