Fog at Yarra Glen

Faileed attempt at painting an abstract landscape

This is a painting I wish I had never attempted. It was extremely difficult to replicate the soft focus blur that was in the original photograph.

I may repaint this. Ecspecially the raised brushstrokes in the upper right.
You learn from your mistakes. Well sort of: I went on to make another mistake where I hadn’t judged the difficulty/scale/painting support correctly. Witness Sunrise over Yarra Glen.

The story behind Fog at Yarra Glen

Painting fog as a photorealist is a challenge. This is because the nature of fog, with its blurring of the scene, makes it both difficult to draw and paint. The photograph location is the main bridge into the town and in the background you can see the old and unused bridge.

This painting is by far my worst photorealist painting. I hate it!
