… so many ideas for the VISTA series. Now that I am expanding my lens beyond cityscapes/skylines to include natural imagery, landscapes, waterscapes, I can see tremendous potential to abstract familiar topographies into graphic clean line compositions. The San Diego VISTA pieces progressed the approach of foregrounded glass elements and painted backgrounds. I love working from reference images to get to simplifiied elements and concepts that look both familiar and fresh.
Some details from preliminary sketches … from places I’ve recently visited.
