| Island Park Entrance Watercolor 2.5” x 3.5” Chris Breier © 2015 |
It was the reflection of the water that first attracted me to this scene. I like the contrast of the dark shadows with the bright white cloud reflections in the water. You may recognize the red building in the background from a previous painting, which is a hardware store.
At first, I didn’t like how the foot bridge divides the painting in half horizontally but I decided that the main shapes of the painting are the sky and the ground–which aren’t of equal size. There are well known rules for composition, but for every rule there is a masterpiece in a museum that breaks it.
