Hello Everyone! Today we will be having a double feature on
the blog—two posts in one day! I am excited to share with you the entire full-length
version with commentary of the painting that I featured last week here on
Impulsive Artistry, titled “Blue Skyline.” This is a dynamic, abstracted
cityscape that I created using a limited color palette. I did not talk about
this piece much last week, so I will take the opportunity to do so today.
Creating “Blue
Skyline”
The inspiration for this work comes from my love of cities,
especially the downtowns of large metropolitan areas. Skyscrapers, even as a
child, have always awed me, and I love the energetic feeling of the bustle of a
busy city sidewalk and street. The rising sun glimmers of the windows and
illuminates the pinnacles and peaks.
This past weekend, my wife and enjoyed a fun-filled
afternoon in Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina where we live. While not a
particularly large area, there are several huge rising towers, exciting to gaze
up at and take in the overwhelming since of height and perspective. I am
originally from California so San Francisco is one city that I enjoy visiting
for this reason, not to mention San Diego with its rising spires on the edge of
the Pacific Ocean. When we lived in Texas, of course I got to visit and see:
Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston (drove through), and their towers. I
have yet to visit the most iconic city on the ocean here in the US: New York,
but all in good time!
“Blue Skyline” also continues my experimentations with a
limited color palette, using: Mars Black, Titanium White, Alizarin Crimson, and
Cobalt Blue, of course. This abstracted cityscape painting is on a smaller
sized canvas board, only 8 x 10 inches. I may at some point create a larger
version of this painting, but I greatly like working on a smaller scale. If you
are a beginning artist, I do recommend that you start with a smaller canvas or
canvas board size, as they are easy to use and to manage the perspective and
proportions in the piece.
