Epcot's England in Paint
Published June 14, 2006 by L. Diane Johnson | E-mail this post
THIS IS THE SECOND OF TWO PAINTINGS posted from the Epcot Center, Disney World gardens. This first image is how the painting looked after painting on location. The profusion of flowers was intoxicating so I had to simplify. Since this was a somewhat cloistered garden the sun’s impact was critical to rendering the architecture. Therefore, I finished the piece once again in the studio.

Unlike the last painting I posted from Epcot (which only needed a few touches to complete), this piece needed major restructuring. Whenever there is a building or architecture in a scene it takes a bit more crafting to gain accuracy - even with a painterly or looser treatment. Now the painting has more solidity while still looking like paint. Note the bricks are only suggested, and the sun-washed door is warmer than before.
Flavor of England
