Low Key

Thursday, December 29, 2011

This is another in the series of watercolors I did for my class.  This time the horizon line is low but the building is high above eye level.  This always presents a dramatic sense and I attempted to take advantage of that by creating a rescue scene.  I just love to create paintings like this out of my imagination.  I found out a long time ago that if you only paint what you see you won't paint much.  Edgar Whitney used to say:"Tell me a beautiful lie."  This painting is an example.
