Freedom from the bondage of these vines is within reach. Although I didn’t get as far along as I would have liked, I’ve made good progress with the morning glory, with a single day’s work ahead before this layer is complete. I still need to fix up some of the flowers and a few of the leaves in the higher parts of the painting where the blue has made them a little too indistinct, although letting the edges get soft as the height increases is a good way of increasing the sense of depth of the painting (atmospheric perspective in action).
I’m thoroughly enjoying this collection of works by Durer, who was so far ahead of his time that its scary.
