I have the painting "Starry Night" on the wall, above my TV. My girlfriend brought it when she moved in and I find myself having a deeper appreciation than I had before. Also, its nice to be able to glance up at something classic between video game sessions and zombie movies. For this piece, I wanted to pay homage to the original while changing the composition and doing it digitally. Just focusing on the tree and a select number of stars helped me to keep within the time constraints I had this week. Also, I hadn't done any real digital painting in about a month and I just wanted to play around with it again.

I seriously dig the colors in this, Ben. And the art could pass for a Tim Burton film. Great job, sir.
ReplyDeleteI have to second Jim's comments about the Tim Burton-ness of this piece, and that's always a good thing as far as i'm concerned.
