Lonely Bench 2 - Take Two

Comment from The Condition Black
I just say this on facebook. Love the "Lonely Bench" concept BTW. I feel like it creates contrast via imagery in much the same way A broken down old fence in a field or a ship run ashore does; they are unnatural and do not belong. I love the cross of the rigid, man-made device against the chaos and flow of nature.
That's a lot to say about a bench. I commend you for doing work while at the show. I am BIG on that. Consider it performing for your fans. They want to see how you do it. It catches their attention and draws them in. It creates intrigue in your work. Sound familiar? These are the things you want your artwork to do... by doing your work at the show you are helping your pieces along. Although I would bet money that you sat behind a little table and drew when noone was looking. You need to get an easel and a big canvas, prop it up out in the middle of the walkway and show the world "Hey, I'm an artist come and check me out!"
Great work. You did good and you have a magnificent collection the lat few days. Very well done!

Thank you so much, I give Esgjag full credit on the name, it was his title :) Thats exactly what drew me into the photos, it made such a strong focal point being in the middle of all those natural surroundings. It sticks out like a sore thumb in this one, but I like that, I wanted to really highlight the bench in this. Will fix the posts in the recreation.
Well you would be proud, I was openly sketching this and had people come over and look, I didnt cower away in the corner lol. However being a small study it wasn't on an easel or anything. When I go BIG then I might well look into that, need to practice it first so that Im confident with what Im doing.

How very lovely and how welcoming is the scene. The colors are so soft and gentle and there is such an airy felling to the image. It is a very good work!

You do with your work, what i try to capture with my camera. The colors are softer, but I like it a lot. Love the composition. You would be great with a camera as well, you have the eye!

Thank you so much, I have never tried photography, not sure I would be any good to be honest, would love to give it a go one day. I envy people that can do both.

Your composition proves you would be good at photography. It's not how many shots you take, it's knowing when to click and that's all about composition. Never give up your talent though, I just meant you might like to give clicking a try.

At 1st when I looked at this I said, I have seen this before and sure enough I did. The Master E has inspired you. Great stuff for creating it in a day. The colors are simplistic but effective. Donā??t tell E but I like your rendition better, you provided more impact to a lonely bench.
