Variety & Repetition

In the discussion at the launch this question arose: “Will there be less variety as you come to the end and find your style?” I did not have an answer, but I do now.

I think there are several styles and each will be stronger in its own right. Here are eight styles I have noticed and a representative of each.

Mood pictures like # 58 Buzzing

Botanical sketches.

“moleskine” café sketches

Photoshop manipulations

Pastels

Landscapes

Oils – more coming

Palm Doodles

Sharper lines between the styles, develop these styles… maybe that is the next step? Too many styles?

The strange thing about these background textures is that they actually look more convincing if there is a real light illuminating the image – from the top left! Its true for the prints too. Perhaps that should go in the hanging instructions.

Only half kidding because the digital medium looks back to the physical world for its metaphors. And our words too have roots in the very basic elements of the earth. Images, visual arts, depend on our collective meaning making with its traditions. In houses I hate fake wood and fake tiles… but here? Where does fake start and end.

In the last one (Medium 2) I deliberately used some “glitter” to really offend my own sensibility.

Playing with the “canvas” backgrounds in ArtRage and thinking about the medium I use. There are a few earlier ones in this genre – Chalk and the next few after that. Also the next two I post up will be in this “series”.
