I still have to put the final picture of this up on my blog, but this is most of the progress I've made so far. This is another acrylic painting I'm working on that represents humanity's contribution to destruction. In the close-ups the viewer can see missiles on either side of the earth's horizons. The clouds surrounding the earth are dis-proportioned and mangled to that of normal clouds. This represents the "nuclear winter' man has created after years of war. The viewpoint has been set on the moon to give proportion. This was a better choice then to just be floating in space. In the foreground there is a shuttle that landed on the moon several years back, with a fractured space helmet in the close left corner. I put the objects here too balance the rest of the work. The different perspectives added to the moon's surface give depth to the overall picture.
I had lots of trouble with painting the sun and her glow because I layered the glow instead of blending it in with the deep purple (space). I think it's time I get out of my habits in acrylic and move onto something much more simple, but still presents a challenge. All this acrylic work is hard on my time as an artist and it sets me back from completing my other work. Acrylic is good, but it will definitely be better to experiment and progress my skills with other mediums.
