"Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind."
Sting
______________
Information:
I painted this windmill on a used canvas, which I primed first. I didn't sand it to keep the structure of the old canvas beneath.
I love the speed which one can feel, looking at this windmill. That's more important for me than the windmill itself, which I painted vaguely.
I scratched in the sails of this windmill on variant places in the various layers of paint.
I love the copper earth tones, the raw sienna and the different gold tones I often use for the background, which gives this windmill a warm color effect. (Transparent Acra Gold -Liquitex- is one of my favorite's!)
Acrylic on Canvas 20'x16' (50x40 cm )

WOW olga....very awesome....I love the textures coming through almost looks like they are emerging from another dimension. Old wind mills are so cool, the history of them is fascinating and the hard work they endured throughout their life....this one is still obviously in great working shape since the speed is felt right through my screen. Awesome painting and so wonderfully composed and achieved!! :)Joanna Jungjohann 05 Sep 2007
