New Peloponnesian War studies.

Here are some more composition studies for my Peloponnesian War oil painting.  I would like it to be 36" x 60" oil on linen.  I intend to work my technical clean line work with some lose expressionist elements.  

These are simple ink studies and not all of them will be chosen for the final composition.

New peloponnesian war studies.

I have been reading Thucydides works on the Peloponnesian War again, in an attempt to gain a better understanding of world conflicts.  I see the Peloponnesian as a world war in that it had direct consequences on all of the Greek world at the time.  

These are a few simple ink studies for my peloponnesian war painting.  I have started working on the total negative space composition, and I will have the compositional elements complete by the end of the month.  Maybe...

BitTorrent 12 "The Peloponnesian War"

I just finished another painting in the BitTorrent series.  It is my philosophical representation of the "Peloponnesian War" and how I see both sides of the massive conflict to be.  I have used a triadic harmony in opposite of what I normally work with in color.

I am currently working on my compositional ideas for a series of works on "The Peloponnesian War" that will focus on the individuals involved in the war.
