hi all,
yes loft, the idea is that they are repetitious but very slightly different...
i plan to go back and tweak areas so that they are even more alike...
this is up to today, i got the gift of unexpected holidays

thanks for comments,

max

I am enjoying watching your progress and hearing the details, thank you.

These shot by shot progress posts are interesting to follow as you continue but at the same time frustrating because everything takes time and some things more than others. Is it that way with you? or are you an artist that has more patience than time and it will take as long as it takes?

Beautiful work I will be interested to see what it all looks like when you are finished!

hi all,
yes Dave, the time factor can be frustrating
i have enormous patience with regard to that but even so it can sometimes
be tediously slow and difficult to keep momentum going...
and the REALLY time consuming part is yet to come...
this is the 4th in this style i have done, the quickest took 6 months,
the longest was 2 years.
i hope this one will be quicker due to small technique changes i have made.
cheers,
max

hi all,

here are the latest shots...
I've been working in the lower left today
I felt the orange ground was too pale so darkened it
but now i feel it's too much

as usual, c&c welcome

I've never seen this done before and am enjoying watching its progress. Very interesting.

I am rarely in this forum, let alone making a comment. But I could not let this go without praising firstly the concept. It is incredible. Not only that the execution is very will done. I have to add that I am very impressed

**alangraham** · #26 09-11-2012, 11:25 AM

Wow, this sure is looking, well, amazing. I would never have the patience to do something this labor intensive.

While I do love the bright colors, I have a hard time looking at it on my computer. Seems my eyes don't want to sit still, haha.

aidaebr · #27 09-11-2012, 11:31 AM

Great concept and expression

How patiant you are BTW

jimwhalen · #28 09-13-2012, 07:13 PM

I really like the concept and am fascinated by seeing the process. Keep posting the progression - Looking forward to the final results.

This almost has a surreal feel to it. interesting color choices.

hi all,

thanks for the enthusiastic comments...

yes alangraham, the idea is that it seems to move
if you try to follow any of the 'branches', they split or waver or simply end unexpectedly...wait until phase two, then it really starts to move around

the essential idea was that it would be art to make your eyes bleed, not literally, of course, but in a sense that it was so bright and so overloading with movement and shapes and... that you found it hard to actually take in the whole piece at once...

and that is how i have to work on it also, i choose one small section and concentrate there, if i try to cover too large a space i have trouble keeping hold of the image in my head...
no prelim sketches here, the whole idea arrives complete and i just attempt to get down on the surface how i see it in my minds eye

still lots of fun tho.
thanks again,
max
