I have wanted to do a painting like this for a long time and this was a test  to see how it would work out. I think that  I need to abstract the shapes a lot more to get it the way I had it in mind but it is a start. This is one of the beauties of this 30 day challenge, we get to try out things without being completely vested on the results as we only put in a few hours.
Going up and down Como Lake in Northern Italy you see communities like this everywhere, they are built on the mountain side and they are just a blur of shapes and colours without a proper focal point or anything that jumps out from  the bunch. That is what I wanted to portray, I just don't know if it is interesting enough. Not sure it works but it was fun.

He querido hacer algo como esto desde hace ya bastante tiempo, esto fue para probar si funciona o no. Creo que tengo que abstraer las formas mas para lograr lo que tenía en mente pero es un comienzo. Esta es una de las mejores cosas de este desafío de 30 días, podemos probar distintos métodos  sin invertir demasiado tiempo.
Se ven vistas como estas por todos lados en el Lago di Como,construídas en la ladera de la montaña, son manchas de distintos colores y formas, sin punto focal ni  cosas que resaltan. Eso es lo que quería representar, no sé si es lo suficientemente interesante. No se si funciona pero fue divertido tratar.

    1. Thank you Sue! I enjoyed working on this piece but wasn't too sure because of the lack of focal point (but I have always liked those paintings that are the same all over, good place to visually get lost many times :)
