Artist's Comments
In my studio one day, I was looking for a subject to do as a warm-up painting before I tackled a larger project. I dug through a pile of reference photos I had and found an image I had clipped from an old National Geographic. The story was about Madrid or something or other, but I liked this image because the forced perspective in the original pic made it look more like a stage set than a street scene. I also quite liked the cast of characters- the priest, the gruff store owner, the goofy mandolin player. Anyway, I painted this little scene on unstretched canvas, hence the warping in the photo. Acrylic on canvas, about 4'x4'.
Perspective, colors, tone looks great. Why is traditonal art ignored so much on DeviantART? Traditional paintings have more "soul" then digital. Every traditional painter has a different brush stroke.
Here are 100 (and a few more) of some very nice photographs on deviantART that I think should get some attention. Some already have a fair bit, but deserve it. So I'm giving them more.
With a gallery that takes you on a journey into another world, `spyroteknik has firmly secured a place as one of the top artists within our community. Always willing to participate in events as well as providing critique and guidance to members in such a humble yet inspiring manner is a quality which deserves recognition. So it's with great pleasure that we award this month's Deviousness to Martin Bland. Read More
