The Before and the After

Further to my previous blog about the revelation of colour in my work, here is a good example of that. I first painted this mountain from the Canadian Rockies in a dark and vague blue grey with white cap to draw your eye upwards. But what it achieved was a bland and uninteresting painting with no where for your eye to go. After six months of sitting on it and seeing many just walk right on past it in shows, I had an idea to transform it (no excuse for it taking six months, thats my speed). The result, I think is a painting that now has dimension and multiple layers of interest.
