Sebastapol Wetlands 1,2 and 3 - 6x8 acrylic on canvas board
I did these three little landscape/florals from some photos I took in a wetland park behind a community center in Sebastapol California where my wife was attending a bellydance festival. I worked on them at one time - as a set, as I am really happy with both the small format, the way that produced a more richly textured work, the fact that they are more interpretive than photo realistic but you can still tell what they are. They look really nice framed and hung together as a set on our living room wall
Sebastapol Wetlands number one - happy with the colors and the shapes. Could have done better with the tree in the background and the direction and highlighting of the grass strands.
Sebastapol Wetlands number two - Really happy with the shapes and colors and patterns here. Even though this does not look exactly like the photo, it came out just the way I wanted.
Sebastapol Wetlands number three - Really happy with the central plant and the overall confusion of the multiple plant stalks and grass around and behind it. I think the colors came in a little too blue for this one and I'm unhappy with the pods above the main plant (back-grounded by sky).
