This is of my daughter in law and her horse Sunny. It is 16" x 16", watercolour on Saunders Waterford 140lb NOT. The source photograph was 6" x 4".
The question is, is it finished? Probably not. What did not work well?
What worked well?
I'll keep it on the easels for week or two and reassess it then.

Well the sites been up for quite a few weeks now without much activity from me. So here we go.
Currently I am working on 2 projects. 1. This is a digital art project for the Advanced Art class I am doing. Each term we are set a theme, which this autumn term is UNITY. The dictionary definition gave a number of possibilities. The first was a mathmatical interpretation "the unit one" this set me thinking of binary code which is made up of 1 and 0. The Binary code for UNITY is .....01010101 01001110 01001001 01010100 01011001 or 0101010101001110010010010101010001011001 to be precise. The other that interested me was the socialite Unity Mitford. A beautiful woman of the 1940s who's was a notorious Nazi sympathiser. This exert is from Wikipedia "Unity Valkyrie Mitford (8 August 1914 – 28 May 1948), styled The Hon. Unity Mitford, was an aristocratic English socialite who was a devotee of Adolf Hitler. Both in Britain and Germany, she was a prominent supporter of Nazism and fascism, and formed part of Hitler's inner circle of friends.[1] Following the declaration of World War II, Mitford attempted suicide in Munich, and was officially allowed safe passage back to England in her invalid condition, but never recovered. Unity was a member of the Mitford family, tracing its origins in Northumberland back to the 11th century Norman settlement of England.[2] Her sister Diana was married to Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists.[2] Another sister was the Duchess of Devonshire I opted to combine these 2 interpretations of UNITY by creation an image of Unity Mitford using binary code that spelled out the word UNITY. Here is the result |
