Vantage point and figure in this digital painting
Checkerboard Valley – digital painting / art prints – 2005
When I first completed this digital painting, I was really pleased with how I had captured what I had seen. There is a small section looking down the valley which is near my house.
From that vantage point, one can see four different layers of height until one’s eye finds the mountains on the other side of the valley.
The person carrying the irrigation pipe wasn’t in that particular scene, but it was someone I had seen earlier in the day and it seemed both fitting and helpful for creating a sense of space.
He and his pipe were created in one stroke of the mouse – not that it matters, but I think it is kind of fun to know.
