Someone once said that it takes acres of paper to make an artist. They should revise that saying for the digital age.... maybe - "It takes gigabytes of storage to make an artist". Hmmm. Just doesn't sound the same.
Last fall when I was at the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon, I took a snapshot of the central bridge there and it was featured in the center of my photo. This painting was inspired by a very small section on top the bridge in that photo. The figures are very small and hard to make out so they are naturally simplified shapes. Looking at them today, I felt it would be fun to paint them with a larger than usual brush size. I also played around with brush settings. I'm still experiementing and learning how to paint with a digital tablet.
