Cisco Kid 6x6 inches Oil on Canvas Panel by George De Chiara Click here to bid. Opening bid just one cent! It seems like every time I pull out my fishing lures, I have to do two or three paintings of them before I'm satisfied. For those of you not keeping score, I did one yesterday with 3 of my lures in it and now one today. For today's painting, I wanted to explore how I could make an interesting painting with very few objects. In this case just two, the lure and a small branch. I wanted to lure to be as large as possible and still have an interesting composition. To achieve that, I was going to need a good cast shadow, so I placed my light is such a way that it would produce a strong shadow. I had to play around with my arrangement of the lure and light for a bit to get something I was happy with. I think the key was getting the lure to rest on the branch. The helped give the painting some depth and movement. To see a complete step-by-step demo of how this painting came to life visit my blog here.
