Description
The central figure, originally, was a tree, yes, that is how this painting began. There was no plan or vision for a human but after several attempts with the tree (in the center, not the two on the side), something unexpected occurred. As I was removing layers and/or erasing some of the tree, a sketchy outline began to be revealed. It was this that then became the basis for this rendering.
Whether on canvas or digital painting, at times the vision comes after a work has started and sometimes (as was the case here) goes in an entirely different direction. The end result for me, is often (but of course not always) both surprising and rewarding.
I do not know if there is a formal term in the arts for this perceptual phenomenon, but I call it figure/ground alchemy.
