Description
Confession time, I used google street view to compose this painting! I was looking through my own photos and found one that had potential. I didn’t have time to go back downtown and take more photos right then. So, I went looking for it on street view to get a feel for context. My shot was looking east down the street, and I wanted to see what the arch looked like at the entrance to the street. That lead me to virtually walk down the street to look around and explore angles. I reached the “corner” and turned around. Looking back, and saw the scene depicted above. I liked the angle, and shadows (when I had been there it was really overcast, and there were no shadows.) So I painted the google street view. I still prefer to go to a place so I can explore different angles, but was glad to have this option. Apparently, I’m not the first to do this, one artist advocates for those creatives with disabilities, street view creates opportunities that would otherwise be impossible.
I think the lesson I took away from this, is sometimes things that seem impossible, just need more time, and perhaps being able to look at it from a new perspective. There are some other things in my life that seem out of reach right now. But I want to remember to give it time and see if can be solved in a different way. Is there something in your life that might just need more time or a change in how you are going about trying to solve it?
This shows the back of the Angebilt building featured in my previous painting, looking west down Wall St, downtown Orlando.
