(no, that song did not really inspire that image but certainly its name XD)

wooohooo i am FINALLY done. After a very productive first half of the year 2020, i have not produced much on my weekly-going-to-pubs-trips. That is because this one just took me that long (in my defense i also didn't go every week since i had some vecation and and...changed pubs so i wasnt sure where to goooo...)

anyhow. Yaaaay....i had this very particular image in my head but i was not able to replicate that red light thingy stuff very well. Maybe on pc i could've, but not with aquarell. The effects i did try to make in that direction mostly look stupid too. Lol...i still struggle to do erm..negative painting so to say. As to the background, i teethered around a little if i should really put in all too much detail but in the end I decided to go for it despite being advised not to XD lol, again this is mostly because originally i wanted to have a garden in the background and while overall this means that the painting has a strong coloring not overly typical for aqurell (the foreground is already very densly painted).

I've wanted to paint another garden-painting like this for quite a while (I alwasy enjoy them way too much, i know its not very interessting for others but I find them so very soothening to make) and when i moved to my new apartment and was faced with a rather long blank wall (literally) i realized it was absurdly overdue that i get another one up and going. Right now i only have two gardens of this sort and the wall really needs three, if you ask me XD lol.

So thats it, this year i meant to do mostly portraits and now i spend several months not doing them which means i might do that topic in 2021, as well, for now i reaaally gotta get started on a christmas card (while i have no idea what i'm gonna do..arrrrgh).

(also I looked at a ton of temple-gardens and what nots photos as reference, I'm sorry i cannot really qoute them anymore i was just googling images and looked at this and that)

PS (as if i hadn't rambled around enough yet): For some reason my scanner made the saturation much higher than the original in the grassy area. While sure there is color there obviously, the strokes are not quite that strong. Usually its the opposite. Yet i was not able to adjust the hue/saturation without killing the color of the tree =/
