I wanted to paint a special landscape motive, inspired by M.C. Escher’s “Waterfall” \u2013 as told in an earlier post<\/a>. At that time I had figured out roughly how the landscape should be, to achieve the needed optical illusion. This was harder than expected, so it took time. Some changes to the layout have happened after that, but now I’m happier with it. It’s mostly the smaller details that are left now. Details like forests, villages, farms and such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is fiddly work. Fiddly work takes time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I mentioned later, in my Summertime-post<\/a>, is my lack of activity on that painting. Or painting at all, technically. Of course, I’ve started painting again now, as the previous post <\/a>clearly indicates. I’ve just taken a break from the fiddly work, needed something else to concentrate on. Still, I’ve done something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The geography is now in order, it’s “just” the details that have to be added. Bit by bit. I’ll be working on it now and then, just to not get bored by the fiddly bits. In the meantime, I have a few other paintings of various sizes that need to take priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
