Troubled in Iraq


This painting was for Lawrence.com for an article about strained marriages and relationships with soldiers in Iraq and their families back in the states. Again, this illustration was an exercise in simplicity. During the initial sketches I was trying to come up with concepts that would work both as spots and as full sized painting. I also had a lot of fun playing with different scanned in textures to create unexpected variations in the final image like the dripping oil clouds in the background.

Guten Tach Ingrid!
Unsere Touren sind immer extrem, weil wir extrem sind und somit wird alles, was wir machen, extremistisch.
Man sollte immer das Malen, zu dem man einen guten Bezug hat!
Danke für Deinen Kommentar und die guten Wünsche.
