Extreme difficulties are often accompanied by a gift. Impossible to know at the time, even more difficult to believe true. Among possessions I’ve inherited, I have found the intangible presents.
Knots & Tangles
There were many complications on the way to achieving the very specific vision I had in mind! I’ve written about some of the compositional work that went into this piece in the flip book below the main image. After I had a satisfactory drawing, there were no other difficulties beyond what I would expect in putting together a detailed piece like this.
Work Contents
Paint Usage?
The sky is painted, everything else is fabric collage.
Computer Usage?
I made a rough outline of the major areas and then enlarged that to the full size. With that, I could indicate where some structures would be placed.
Reliance on Reference Photos?
I used a photograph taken by Wil Robinson of Old Orchard Beach, Maine. He generously granted permission for me to use it.
