Description
"Amalfi" No. 1
An OIL PASTEL to digital rendering-mixed media collage--tall and narrow like the cliffs! Created in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina USA-- with a romantic smile to dear Amalfi.
Amalfi is one destination many artists find breathtaking. The piercing colors, bold lines and curves of the terrain, the mountains plunging down to the Mediterranean sea, and- from the distance portrayed in this piece- tiny buildings might be only lightly planted on the cliffs, can be thrilling, So, I wanted to create a vibrant visual impression.
From the original oil pastel I ventured into the digital design to create this mixed media, contemporary piece-- added patterns-texture for contextual value. Digital manipulation was quite a challenge here with geometric abstraction and expressionist values.
Here is the first in my series on sweet, ancient, heart-stirring Amalfi .
One could only imagine what Henri Matisse might have said when confronted with the intense colors of the Mediterranean sea juxtaposed with the immense power of the rising cliffs. I used vivid reds, and purples, greens and turquoise to focus on both the startling and delicate nature of the Amalfi coast.
