This is baring more than a passing resemblance to an Adrian Berg painting with a bucket load of Kenny Scharf, surely a winning combination? I am actually liking the challenge of painting the water with all these reflections. Its a little bit difficult to see where the land ends and water begins, but that is how it is in the photograph. This painting is on steroids, its packed with trees and I was worried it may appear ‘too busy’. Well, no point in worrying, it is busy, and I think that’s how I like my paintings anyway. It will calm down a little as I put more of the bigger shapes in the foreground. I may do a few more of these water and reflection paintings, they are quite a pleasure to paint.
