Turning a landscape into colorful Shards. It’s messy, it’s raw. I like the accidental blending between earth and sky.

Early rendering of a painterly algorithm I’m working on that gives me room for lots and lots of experimentation.

Painterly composition with a monchromatic scheme. Lots of atmosphere, and a distinct composition of brush stroke types: Delicate and figure conforming for the subject; wild and thorny for the environment.

Although the composition brings to mind one of those super-slick commercials about depression, I like the color scheme’s soulfulness.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Aurora Borealis, though I’ve never witnessed the phenomenon personally. A few years ago I did a hand-drawn animated film also on this subject.
