Mult rafinament în tabloul ăsta…
Mie îmi amintește picturile orientale pe mătase, basmele cu detalii surprinzătoare, culorile misterioase și atmosfera graniță-între-lumi

Iar ”învolburarea Van Gogh” leagă elementele, dă coerență micilor amănunte care par de…negândit

Fain zborul rotit

Comment on Fantascapes: my first green whale fantascape by iondanu

oh, miki, for me it’s much more simpler… I’ve just tried a new color (I already told you about it, I think: the burn quinacridone orange) and wa sfooling a bit around… and fantascapes (I understood it much more a s a contraption ? of fantasy and lanscapes, paysages fantastiques…)

I wish a could dive too… another thing I would probably never do otharwise than in my mind….)

I was wondering where they are, your fantascapes!
This is great to finally dive into them… wonderful one, I so much love the colors and the craziness!
By the way, Danu, as we started the fantascapes, the theme was much concreter, and in fact we almost called it “La Danse du Printemps”, which is the reason why my fantascapes have all dancing trees! I was painting blossoming almond trees at that time and susan gave me the idea to try to make figures out of them while I was quite bored with the normal representation. Later on I varied the theme of the fantascapes, and started to make some “fantaseas” (you will understand the word play on “fantasy” and “fantascapes” and “sea”, I guess ).
I am not even sure that i have published them by the way! Anyway your painting would wonderfully fit in the “Fantaseas” series!
I made Fantamountains too…

Well, Susan, I don’t think it is a beached whale… the bottom of the sea looks quite like in Danu’s painting, when you take the blue filter away… I dove a lot (with bottles and stuff) and it was exactly like in your painting, Danu, at least it is what I saw. Except the whale, I didn’t see him…

Thanks, susan. I’m not absolutely sure what you mean by patterning? Could you elaborate, when you have some time? Just yesterday a visitor mentionned to me licenseing and I didn`t know that one either… but I`m willing to learn…

I am a very big fan of patterning so I really like this one. It reminds me of the graphics for some exciting board game I would like to play.. . with rare gems as prizes and even some scary demon eyes as penalties. A truly original fantascape!

This is a most interesting “whale”! Perhaps he is a beached whale since he seems to be in a garden. I particularly love his little hand, almost in prayer mode. I think if he would open his eyes he would see a most beautiful world around him.

I wish…Craig! Thanks for you kind appreciations. I also have a very high opinion about Vincent’s reed drawings!

I ran accross your highly interesting work at R. Genn. Came to your blog and spent the morning saturating myself with this fascinating work.

I aggree that Van Gogh’s sketches are sublime. To me they are more interesting in some ways than his paintings. What he accomplishes with his reed pen is so expressive. I only began painting late (very late) in life. Before I was a folk blues musician, but painting has hijacked all creative flow and channelled it to itself. I love your different techiniques, energy, and writings, and rhythmic lines. If you are not a musician, you could be.
