Sea Kingdom


This is another panel from the same geodesic painting as Son of Nereus. All the panels share a common lighting system, as part of the common spherical perspective system which binds them  together. The subject I just made up and painted from imagination.

The abstract panel below shows the perspective grid that guides the construction of the figurative image. The latter is painted in watercolor on a panel about 25 centimeters in diameter. The grid is painted in oil on duralar and is 96 centimeters in diameter. Despite the difference in scale, the two panels correspond to one another mathematically. Ideally, I would like to make the piece at a scale such that each circular panel is at least two meters in diameter, or with a radius of 100 cm, or bigger.
