In what sometimes seems to be my ongoing quest to jump from one thing to another and never master anything but take a stab at everything, I've been working on a couple of landscape-ish paintings.
This is my house, in the Village of Greenwich, New York (not to be confused with Greenwich Village, New York) as portrayed in watercolor, on a topographic map. "Homer" is actually a town closer to where I came of age, across the Hudson and west of here, and not at all where I live now. But I liked that it said "HOME(r)" right on my roof--get it?!
This is likely completely non-archival. The old topo map, one of a handful being tossed out after a library book sale, was Mod-Podged onto a piece of mat board, and then drawn on and painted on.
It's not done, yet. Updates ahead.

ReplyDeleteBut it's not finished! (Then again, you know how I tend to wreck things by over-finishing them, so maybe it's at it's optimal point, as is.)
DeleteThis is awesome and a mind-blowingly cool idea. (But the "Homer" is my favorite. Nicely played.)
