Description

"A Mogul's Deliberation"
(but which Mogul...?)
Alternatively titled, "Esoteric Sheep".
So this is my first completed, semi-surreal, off-the-top-of-my-head painting in what seems like years. I paid a visit to one of the loveliest places in my mind ... overcast and elevated, green and lush.
I consider this piece a little taste of expressionism ... my surrealist tendencies occasionally restrict me from creating the most possible of scenes. I didn't really paint this expecting much of a response; I know it's not the most technical piece I've shared, but I'm really content with regard to how it turned out. For the first time in awhile, I was able to maintain my "artistic vision"....for that, I feel some degree of joy!:)

I received some critique regarding the fact that I left out the peak of that central mountain....this was completely on purpose (as was placement of the "train" of thinkers and thoughts)! This represents my very own perspective -- I don't like to see the top of the mountain...I don't like definite edges and knowing full stories. Most of all, I want people to be enveloped in this image (to a certain extent); I painted from a moving, dreamy perspective -- eyes edging forward, a captured glance, captured thought, etc.
I had so much fun painting this.:heart:

This journal describes more of my influences at the time (woops, wrong journal before -- corrected now): fav.me/d5rq9zm
Special thanks to WilliamDallwitz for sharing the joke that started it all!
Rocks in Scotland, all that jazz, etc. etc.

As opposed to the not-so-esoteric one's. ;)
