There are so many directions I could co with exploring bright abstract textures as I did in my new art – Toronto Skyline Cityscape – that I am thinking this may well become a series, I enjoyed it so much. Creating digital art forces me to push past the “rules of photography” and sometimes it is weirdly challenging for me to change a really beautifully composed sharp photograph. Even though I know I have the original and will always have the original and I am about to create new art beyond the confines of the photo. To push past any imagined obstacles I must explore what is within to create the art, even if that means changing what might be “the norm”. It’s both scary and freeing at the same time. I broke my photo of Toronto Skyline into its composite parts to build it into something else entirely.
The direction was rather unexpected, I know now to keep going with it. For example using bright colours and abstract art as my textures and backgrounds. If you follow my art you’ll know I love bright colours rather than subdued… however Toronto Skyline Cityscape challenged me even there… to go sunburst bright with multiple colours. I am so pleased I tried it, not seeking perfection but seeking to see what new I could achieve. And let’s face it, we NEED more colour, the bolder the better.
I hope this colourful Toronto City Skyline art composition lifts your spirits as much as it did mine in its creation. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday. It’s available for sale at Nicky Jameson Art and my plan is for a limited edition run. . Check out Toronto City Skyline Art on my Instagram as well, I’ve linked it below.
