Moon Over Myrtle, stages

 Moon Over Myrtle, detail

 Moon Over Myrtle, stages

While trying to rid the look of water where i intended sky, at one point it looked to me like there was a shark shape there, so playing with the computer I added it for fun. Continually scraping away areas, then rebuilding, and trying ways to improve it and give it more depth, then for some reason Cezanne came to mind - I looked him up to learn more about him, his life and work. This was great fun, and I’m not finished with what I started discovering during the process of this drawing — I mean that I’d like to apply some of cubist space principles to future work because this was very interesting! I continued to play with some Cubist ideas, then finished the drawing with less of that look.
