Above Sunburst

[Artyczar]

This is one of three aerial paintings I've been working on. This is the smallest one at 16 x 20 inches. It's oil on canvas.

I saw the beginning stages of this in another thread and thought it was such a cool concept for a painting! I love the bird's eye view and the confetti colors of the rooftops. The texture of the roads is also very interesting. It reminds me of a circuit board and also how very, very small we humans are!

I really like this! I love how all the buildings are so bright. I find myself trying to visualise it from street level.

From Streetview, perhaps?

I like the shapes the roads and tracks make. Somehow, it brings to mind Australian aboriginal views of landscape.

Love it! Confetti is a great description for the roofs.

Haha - that explains it!

 

[Lazarus]

Brilliant.

 

[Terri]

I love this! Can't wait to see the whole series and the various sizes and layouts. ❤ It's a great idea!

 

[Enyaw]

You have achieved the aerial view. I am looking down.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate all the great feedback.

This is a fun painting, Arty!

Cool idea Ayin. I like the chunkiness of the terrain.

I would like to try something like this showing my house and neighborhood. Maybe use acrylics to really build up and get a 3d terrain and houses.

I can see something like this being good for commissions. People would like to see this perspective.

I have done a few commissions with actual maps from Thomas Bros Guide map pages that show where the person actually lives. I did one for a child's room and another for a family member. Here is the child's room one:

Ah ha! Great minds think alike. Or at least average ones follow the great ones.

Love these, the first is so pretty, very cool the way you've painted it. The child's room commision is delightful

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you so much laf.

 

[Perry]

I like it Arty...very innovative. It reminds me of the Hitchcock movie "The birds"

 

[Artyczar]

That's kinda funny Perry. I wouldn't think of that.

I find this very engaging. Apt title as the color makes it feel like light from above. The relief in the paint is appealing. A cool twist on Cartographic abstraction.
