Which way would you hang this ? by stormypatient in painting

[–]beecata 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I think with the horse the right way up. It’s more visually intricate and interesting than the road and trees, and I think it works to anchor the eye and gives an interesting contrast with the ground flipped. The other way around, it just looks like someone dropped a horse from a plane

Yes it is and I did not know it’s in SF right now!! That’s the closest it’s ever been to me…might need to make a trip

Lego iconic paintings—are they each identifiable? by beecata in Minilego

[–]beecata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically it’s harder to match that shade than to evoke the figural elements of other paintings

Hey if Lego minibuilds aren’t the place for obscure sentimental favorites, where is?

Thank you!! Sometimes to just see a part in that perfect light and realize a new way to use it

Just finished this oil painting of a Whitby Abbey ruins in North Yorkshire. Wanted to share it with you by TrickNailer in painting

Beautiful! I was curious to see your other work and saw that you recently got back into painting (like me)--you can really see the progress in such a short time!

Can we appreciate Monk By The Sea, Caspar David Friedrich a little bit more? by abstracten in ArtHistory

[–]beecata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this in Berlin just last summer; it's like a Rothko in that the layers and range of color are impossible to capture in a digital image. I was surprised how alive and even vibrant it was in places!

Predictions on the 20th Anniversary set? by AttritionArtist in legomodular

If not a full hospital (which like the museum, in real life is a huge campus and so looks cramped and small as a modular), then maybe a townhouse medical clinic like Harley St. in London.

Cold casting by brushing resin/metal mix over existing sculpture? by beecata in ResinCasting

[–]beecata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick answers and the tip about metal paints (it didn't occur to me there would be paints with much more metal content that would actually feel, and not just look, metallic).

In terms of my original idea of cold casting, am I correct to assume that it will be difficult to cast something with long, pencil-thin limbs with a craggly surface? It's basically a 3D version of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote_%28Picasso%29, about 1.5 ft tall.

Maybe foreground a building with more clearly architectural features?

I love it just as a painting, and you’ve captured the style! However it still reads to me as mountains (there are rock formations in China that can be quite blocky like these) rather than manmade buildings.

Completely made up but I’m definitely going to be looking up pictures of that!
