Final Fennel Frenzy

more original impression - poles, harvest, and light

Fennel Field & Sky 2 - digital painting / art prints - DB 2006

Above is the final version of this digital painting. The first two should be below. This is more of the scene that I saw the morning that inspired me to do the piece.

I was never sure I wanted to include the fennel harvest, but it was pretty cool that morning. It looked like bulbs were flying everywhere - a fennel frenzy if you will - licorice in the air.

I also tinted the whole piece to give it more of the morning light feeling and to make sure it was different enough. I have been leaning towards keeping the colors brighter these days.

But the tinting does pull the whole piece together in a way that is quite profound. And the telephone poles look like the field was planted right up to them - a wonderful bit of perception.

Inspired by Morning Light

the problem and thinking behind the artwork

I chose this piece today - because it came up when I clicked image roulette. I had not written about this particular piece and I can’t always write about brand new pieces.

This particular digital painting has some really wonderful qualities. It was inspired by the incredible light after sunrise that morning - the slight pinkish glow and crisp air making promises of a wonderful day.

I am particularly happy with the clouds in this piece and the way it feels like it is morning.

Because the view was disturbed by buildings from strip malls and full malls alike - I opted to represent them as these giant slabs of rock. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time although I haven’t done it since.

It must have been summer here in Salinas - everything is so brown.
