Field of Dreams Watercolor 20 x 15 $550.00 In dreams proportions and sequences are irrationally ordered. On the bottom of this painting, the foreground landscape is detailed in crisp focus, while the middle ground plants are tiny and show proportional perspective. However when the background flowers appear out of focus, as they would be in real life, they are gigantic, of tree-like magnitude. Suddenly the perfectly proportioned field takes on irrational proportions. It is not scary however; the dreamlike quality is one of playful, peaceful slumber in soft pastels, achieved through wet on wet puddling technique. |
