ahab said...: Thanks. I know it doesn't work 100%, but I like it.

Savannah, that's just what I was going for. This is one of my "Impressionisms in a Hurry." I call the actual technique "schmeer," and I talk about it all the time in order to annoy my wife. ;); January 21, 2010 at 1:33 PM

I like it, too. Pretty palette.; January 21, 2010 at 1:50 PM
ahab said...: A Verschmeer! Wait'll I tell Mary that one...

But on the palette, yeah. The original shot is vertical and included a chunk of almost indigo sky. Really a gorgeous moment. That vertical view may be better. I couldn't decide.

It's so nice not to have to paint the whole goddamned thing before changing one's mind about these things, E-6. Coupla clicks and I'm done.; January 21, 2010 at 2:52 PM

And why, pray tell, do you want to do that? For the sport of it???; January 21, 2010 at 5:03 PM
