Ethereal Landscape

Posted on November 6, 2018 by Wess Foreman

I would almost describe this as a Candy Land landscape, the randomly distributed dobs of color recalling gumdrop shapes across the bright landscape. A land where the sky is painted-in with drippy white paint and all the cares of humanity are stripped away just long enough to capture it on canvas. (video of the painting process added below)

This one started as two head-and-shoulders portraits---didn't like it so I scrapped the one on the right and put in a simple background of trees; then the fairies took over and the painting took on a life of its own. Now I've got this high-fantasy painting with a hint of anime styling to the large-eyed face and a painting that doesn't fit with the rest of my work, in terms of subject matter.

Anyway, if you know anyone who would love this painting, let them know I've got it for sale---and tell them to ask for a better price, you never know with artists and it doesn't hurt to ask . . . .

Here's a detail of the face. Maybe I should do a series of small paintings of faces---that would be fun---look for it soon! That is all.

This one falls more on the illustration side of things. I wanted to paint a simple painting of a kid running with zero background detail and was happy with how this turned out . . . then I added a cape to the kid and that made the painting work for me even more, adding a bit of a story to the piece.
