Garden Party
Detail
Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
From my
last blog post,Garden Party-The Big Picture, I continued painting with opaque slow drying paints,
each bunch of figures. As I finished I checked my composition and
found that I had indeed kept with the “rule of three” guiding
lines for important points in the painting. But I also found
triangles!
I am
really proud of the individual sets of characters in this painting. I
tried to have the most detail in the man taking the photo, less in
the posing couple.....even less in the family with two toddlers and
group of talking folks in center stage. I wanted to highlight the
little girl on the right, walking and texting, perfectly happy
interacting with her phone. This piece ended up being a bit of
commentary on how folks of different generations interact with each
other. Going from the person to person chatting of the older folks
thru the younger folks using their phone camera to post images to
social media to the young girl in her own internet world.
