from the featureless mass of brown trees and foliage on the left. This is how the photograph presented it and I have been trying to do something with it from day 1. I can now see the solution and some things just need a bit more definition. This picture has been a struggle at times, I am trying to invent a language of equivalents, or a style, that is sympathetic to the landscape but not an illustration of it. This is a mad picture, but I am loving it. At times its difficult to know how to approach it but it seems the more I am willing to struggle the more I am rewarded. That’s how it should be.
