I have for the last several months been ruminating upon a large canvas to tackle. I want a big scene, along the lines of my beloved Pousssin, but as usual tackling a Meso/metaphysical theme. Old gods, Gnosis, toppled usurping false gods all play a part in this newly conceived project. After notebooks of doodled ideas , oil sketches,elevated renderings and readings, I have begun fleshing out details.
A familiar cast of characters, including from right a little Teotihuacan fellow, Tlaloc with lightening/storm cloud staff, Quetzalcoatl descending from above, She of the Serpent Skirt,Coatlicue, and the great and mighty war god Huitzilopochtli clutching his mother’s serpentine skirt.
A bit of the process for tackling a large (or small) project.
Spontaneous sketching, confirming ideas.
More sketches, some in color,
Elevation renderings to help determine composition,
and now, working out details, what stays , what goes, more color compositional sketches…I’m daunted already.Looking forward to seeing how it professes, wish me luck.
Take care, Lg

WOW! there is that serpent skirt, and it’s amazing! perfect with the cloud-cover from her head… i also really love the one with a blue tint with the mask on his head, the style/mood of it is really intense…i also really like the idea of the room open to the night sky, with things going in/out, the checked floor and arches are fantastic for that, and the gentlemen working with the planet/statue are particularly intriguing to me, hope to see more of that somewhere!!
