Description When in doubt, try a Cruciform design structure!!! As I worked thru this
watercolor, (140' Arches Cold Pressed Paper ~ 16x22" image size)
all the baubles and bright shiny dresses, The Stars doubling up for the one big glitter photo... like Peacocks in all their Plummery! ~
what else could possibly have come to mind OTHER than The Night of the Oscars? Β  Nothing but Pomp and Ceremony.
And we all love it....but not as much as THEM!!!

I do agree...many folks, even with some sort of weak attempt
at explaining my Idea and TITLE, will insist on "something else."
All of which is super fine with me....it could be interpreted in a host
of ways, or...better yet NOT at ALL, I suppose. Love to read your
comment....without any doubt there!!!
Take care, my friend...

This is so haunting and beautiful! I love how at first glance I thought I knew what it was and then I'm just like...but that's...not...and then I just spend a good ten minutes staring at thisΒ picture, haha. There's just something very intriguing and almostΒ primordial to these images, kinda makes you think.Β 

Off to the rest of your gallery, then! Well met and have a great dayΒ Β

I love your watercolor techniques!!! Wish I knew how to create some of those textures.Β

richardcgreen In reply to waterhealing [2017-03-15 20:08:44 +0000 UTC]

Try collecting as many types of plastic, like Target bags or
thicker, including all types of plastic wrap for storing food.
Drop over fairly wet watercolor, allow to dry, see what happens. Follow the inclination of
where the paint is going, and enhance with another medium, like pastel, Prismacolor pencils, watercolor pencils,
to model and graduate to tonal values....
That's a start...try salt and thicker rock salt...bubble wrap what ever!!!!
Good luch....

Yeah, THANKS....that rich orangey red and Holbein's Lavender are
my favorite colors ~ one negates the other tho, and the blue can be enhanced
minimally with good 'ol Prismacolor Pencils. THANKS for writing Leo....
much appreciated!!!
