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.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
