Vignette


Adobe Church
16 x 20

I painted this scene during a workshop with Tony Couch.  Its a mish mash of images that I put together to make it.  It's my first ever attempt at a vignette, an older style design, used a lot in magazine ads from the 40's and 50's.  As you can see, 4 areas of the painting run off the edges, leaving large blocks of white paper.  I really enjoyed this painting.  It was well received by Mr. Couch and drew several positive responses from the members of the workshop.

This is painted in watercolors, on a 16 x 20 half sheet of Fabriano 140# Cold Press.
