Garden Stroll


This piece is the last of many attempts to take the ideas I've been developing based on Judy Morris' work and incorporate them into my own painting. While doing a couple of her demo's with relative success, I had been unable to work that great sense of light into my own work without it looking contrived. In "Garden Stroll" I feel that I have finally achieved a level of success that I can be pleased with. The reference photo itself was taken by Canyon Road from Wet Canvas. What caught my eye was the little gato strolling out of the courtyard like he owned the place. Almost left him out but I'm glad I decided to paint him. This is painted on 90lb Fabraino cp paper with various professional grade paints.
