This is just a tiny bit from an animation I’m working at the moment. More is coming (eventually). It’s on a theme which has always fascinated me: the Garden of Eden. Although I don’t like the story at all. I shall rewrite it through this little animation.
I’ve become addicted to this… And the gif from the video:
At 5 o’clock, at wintertime, that’s the kind of light I like. This is my new little animation: And a cool animated gif: And a still image:
I’ve been working on a little animated gif since yesterday. I might animate some little scenes in my spare time, just for the fun of it.
This is the first step of a huge project that has been growing in me for a long time. A very long time. I love oracles. Of course, I love them. I’m in love with images. I use them occasionally, when I feel really stuck in one way of thinking and it doesn’t lead me anywhere. Then I ask… the Oracle. Just to find a different answer, a different angle. Or sometimes a confirmation of what has been brooding in me that I couldn’t put into words. I never use the oracle to “predict” anything, I don’t believe in this, and I find this far too depressing. My Oracle is pretty complicated.
I finally finished this painting but it won’t be part of a diorama as I had planned. My dog was dying when I was working on this diorama, so it’s now tainted with sadness. I saved this little bit. Meanwhile, I’m working on another painting of a town (but no snow) and it’s very enjoyable. No bad association. Only a Halloween mood.
