To paint from photographs, I sometimes create a panorma image.
I crop from a point where in both pictures, there is an identifiable feature. In the photo above, the cumulus cloud with the dome is a good place. From there I can see the section that overlaps in each image.
The scale of the painting is another story. I can condense, and lose the vastness of the landscape or I can go wide vertical to capture the breath of the image.
This particular landscape is perfect for a 4 season photograph. The fields in early spring will not all be plowed. In summer, there will be corn growing there. In fall the corn will be dry and in the stages of being harvested. In winter, there will be snow on the fields and/or on the Green Mountains.
When the pictures were taken, the ground was in the process of drying out from lots of rain. You can see on the left center where some of the fields are plowed (dark soil).

Once again it is overcast, dreary, and raining. I managed to have a sound uneventful sleep last night, and a nap this morning. I'm reducing my stress by switching my get out around people more, (a chore for sure) by going to a library no hassles just show up gathering. For exercise today, laundry. For soul fun, a few watercolor sketches of the photos above. And for the brain, watching the Moorsea calming video from the YouTube channel, My Tranquilitee.
Have a Lovely Day!
The pictures are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSandy,
DeleteThe light that day was magnificent. The view was as far away as Camel's Hump Mountain 32.7+ miles away inWaterbury, Vermont. It is off frame to the far left.
I am glad you had a good sleep. It really gives any day a good start.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteA day starting out good is a wonderful feeling.
A four season pictures sounds interesting, May. And I imagine you could pull it off brilliantly. You have a lovely landscape to work from. I am glad you slept better last night.
ReplyDeleteBecki,
DeleteYour clearing out stuff is inspirational.
I think I will be doing a lot of that this weekend.
Beautiful panoramic views. I remember these from our trip when I was a teen. I know you will do a good job painting these. Janice
ReplyDeleteJanice,
DeleteWide vistas like that are fun to paint because they are so wide open, they are joyful.
I'm so glad you had a good sleep. Those vast landscapes are so inspiring. I can almost feel my brain and soul expand in them. I look forward to seeing your paintings.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteCatching up with good sleep makes the world look brigter. A couple days of sunshine is a bonus.
What a vista! I hope we'll see your paintings soon!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteDozing off, videos and daydreaming took over my afternoon.
This time of year, spring with lots of rain, I have to remember there are places that might be too
flooded to take photographs to paint from.
Getting a decent sleep seems to be so elusive sometimes - at least it is for me. It's always a surprise when I wake up in bed in the morning because a good many nights I end up out on the couch.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of inspiration for paintings in those photos. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
Maryanne,
DeleteSleep is something to take seriously. I tend to think of it as something that just happens.
Preparing good sleep habits, the first thing I think of is to shop for pajamas.
Lovely post and thank you for sharing your insight into landscape panorama art. Very interesting and those receding layers of mountains in the background are beautiful colours. I struggle with getting good sleep too and it is a boon when I've had a good night. My brain is overactive at night it seems.
ReplyDeleteJocelyn,
DeleteWishing you good sleep always
There are guidelines to help a person prepare for a good night's sleep.
Years ago I was given a page with good suggestions. Right off, I started to redecorate my bedroom.
These are really nice panorama photos. I sure miss going inside a library and browsing around. It's such a calming experience.

Sheri,
DeleteThe local library transformed a few years ago into a lounge atmosphere. There are stacks you can still go through, but the main study area has sofas instead of tables. The oak & bookshelf learning vibe is totally missing.
