An exercise for the imagination
Sep. 20th, 2007 09:14 pmI'm trying to make this a drawing or painting, but the scope is a little beyond what I have the time to do:
At the center of the piece there is a front-on view of what looks like one of those stage prop doors. The door is 1/2 to 3/4 open outwards (opens on the viewer's right hand side), and a person is coming out from behind it, looking a bit nervous. The door stands alone, surrounded by a ruined medieval city - broken stones, burned wooden houses, a ruined church, bare trees, etc. A rising sun casts long red winter shadows. A butterfly lands on a rotting log. Through the back of the door, though one can't see much of it, it is midday and sunny, and there are beaches and palm trees.
Think it might work? Draw me a concept sketch that I can work from and you'll get a little goodie for your time. Or I'll buy you a drink if you're nearby.
