While painting this castle, I keep remembering how we walked out from under a near cave-like path covered with vegetation and then looked up at this wonder. I try to keep that feeling in the fore front of my mind because that is how I want you to feel when you look at the finished piece. Keeping this unusual perspective is a challenge, and fortunately my husband periodically walks in to re-assure me (he is my perspective cop) that all is well. I let my palett knife do the work with the stones and earth under and around the castle and made sure that my intuition was dominant, otherwise I would have gotten into too much detail.
How do you like the knife work?
