Classical & Traditional

Is there a word for the painting/ composition style that makes you feel like you’re spying in on the scene? I remember learning that Vermeer paintings evoked this feeling, as well as paintings like “Las Meninas.”

Is there a blog or thread anyone can point me to with a collection of these types of paintings?

I took the latest conservation research into some famous paintings, where they mapped exactly how the pigments degraded over time, and did a digital restoration of what they probably looked like when they were originally painted using an optical formula called the Kubelka-Munk function.

All the sources and techniques are on this site, enjoy!

Origami Horse

Size: 4' (cm) x 5' (cm)

Medium: Oil and acrylic

Support: Canvas

After some years of living in Alberta, and finding that my art doesn't have a large audience there, I began pondering how i could make my art more accessible to a prairie based viewer. Having already competed three pieces for my origami series i thought of this as an opportunity to bring a sense of action to these works. 

Wild horses are a symbol of the west that is slowly being replaced by dreams of loud engines, and absurdly lifted trucks. In a world where their necessary habitat is being destroyed they could one day be a forgotten feature of the foothills.

this is 24x36 I think
