I wanted to do a painting on a circular stretch canvas based on a photo from 1975. In the original photo my brother and I were sitting on a little hill covered with wild sunflowers.
One of the challenges of trying to replicate the photo on the canvas was the fact that the photo was overexposed and also faded.
I found that using harsh, unnatural colors I was able to create an effect similar to overexposure.
Because there is an eerie effect to this coloration, this makes an ideal, somewhat creepy Halloween portrait.
