One of my favorite parks in Raleigh is Durant Park. A few weeks ago my kids had their wrestling picnic in one of the shelters. I was able to sneak away and get some pictures of the creek. It seems the water in the creek is always pretty low so this results in alot of tree roots hanging over the creek. Definitely makes for some interesting pictures and of course later on interesting paintings.
For this painting I painted one layer on a 24x36” Gessobord. I deliberately omitted painting a lot of detail on the big tree and the rock system in the lower right corner. When I finished painting the panel, I primed certain areas of a glass pane, and painted those. When finished I placed the glass on top of the panel. I started exploring this method of glass painting when I did my second DVD Abstracting the Outdoors: Unlikely Surfaces, it really allows for a different and interesting depth perception that I have yet to achieve from a one layered two dimensional work.
