I 've done a larger, vertical version of the Ridgetop theme. While the photo isn't that good, I'm going to move on to some other ideas, so I decided to wrap up the gray-on-gray/negative space thread for now. The best of these can be found here, in a portfolio with commentary. Be sure to click " Become a Fan", too. I'll post newer work soon.
BTW, in case you out-of-towners are wondering, yes, it HAS been an unusually gray winter here.
"Ridgetops", Monotype, 15x21"
I'll do a larger version Monday. I'll lighten the far ridge, and adjust the scale and distance. I promised myself some more interiors, so I think that'll be next. Nor have I done a "fun" Weekend-type post lately, so I'll work up something of that nature.
I got very busy with a summer workshop proposal and a residency application, and almost forgot I promised to post a ghost of the last monotype. Here it is. I think you can see that the dark gray retains its graphic power more than the light gray.
I still have options, though. I can print another layer ( something in the foreground?), or I can hand tint the little ponds/ puddles to bring them out. Or I can just leave it alone. What do you think? I'll probably work on it Monday.
