| Wharf in Cove Beneath Cliffs, Big Waves On-shore |
|
|
For about 10 - 15 years I've been interested in bowl-shaped landscapes and have three paintings of villages set in hilly bowls awaiting finishing in my finish-soon stack. As I lay down to nap, it occurred to me that I could try my hand at bowl-shaped harbours at the feet of steep cliffs. Sleepiness evaporated long enough to take up my sketchbook and draw. This is the result, a compendium of memories of Delaps Cove on the Fundy Shore near here and Chocolate Cove, Deer Island, New Brunswick. I think it needs colour to separate its parts better...tomorrow, maybe.

Very cool and interesting! I like!
I love the way the drawing continues upside-down on the left side. It really feels like you've drawn the whole, 360-degree environment, like you actually turn around to see the part behind you. Very David Hockneyesque.
Actually, my feet (and eyes above them) are at the bottom of the page, and I am first looking to the left, then ahead (top of page) and then to the right. That is more or less how I drew it, although I went from bottom, left around to top, then from bottom right around to top. Then I added the various layers and things (cliff striations and trees clinging to it, wharf, and waves.
I'm sure Hockney influenced me!
