More Unto the Story |
The canvas seems to hold a world of serenity within its muted yet seamlessly blended colors. The artwork featured a peaceful frog sitting in a tranquil pond. Its earthy hues and soft, mossy greens captured the essence of nature's calm, inviting all who gazed upon it to enter a realm of tranquility.
I, had poured my heart into every brushstroke, creating a scene so lifelike that you could almost hear the ribbed of the frog and the distant chirping of crickets. The frog, perched regally, exuded an air of contentment, as if it held the secrets of the peaceful pond in its wise eyes.
One will find themselves drawn to the painting, often standing before it in quiet contemplation. Some claimed they could feel the cool, gentle breeze that ruffled the water's surface. Others spoke of the frog's eyes, which seemed to convey a sense of knowing, as though it held the key to unlocking the mysteries of the pond.
The Process |
The process of this involved lots of symmetry, which I was challenged to imitate. I used a special tool called the french curve which offered symmetrical marks that I carefully placed to create a even, realistic reflection. For the painting process I used a very large brush dipped in thinned down oil paint which has a glaze effect in which I layered as each dried. The soft blending was a very relaxing process and I truly was able to let go in thought and be one with consciousness. I was very mindful of the relationship of this process in comparison to how nature makes me feel, which was very similar in that meditative state. I was challenged when adding in the detail of the frogs skin, as I wanted a textured yet blended effect. Adding in the final highlights was the final step of the process, which truly felt rewarding to being this creature to life. Created in 2023.
