Every year in Maine I see this boat near Long Cove. It sits against some nice dark foliage. This year I'm painting it. We had a discussion this month, at our Girls Just Wanna Paint meeting, about when to stop. Our fearless Page Pearson Railsback told her classes "Stop at 75% finished". So I'm stopping, and if anyone wants this 10x8 painting as is, email me before Friday. Then I'm attacking it again.
Maine was lovely. Rejuvenating and restful. Yes, I killed my cell phone (drowned it dead) but going there with these friends is like hitting the 'reset' button on my creative life. I came home raring to go! More on the experience and the paintings I did in the next post!
Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup cette peinture avec ce bateau turquoise... les nuances de rouges apportent un bel éclat à cette toile...
Très joli travail.
♡ Gros bisous ♡
Oh this is awesome! I hope on Friday you decide to leave this as is. I love the foliage and reds popping through...lends to autumn, my favorite of all seasons!
ReplyDeleteWhen to stop is such a tough question! I love this as it is - really strong and distilled to its essence. If you do add more, it will be so interesting to see the before & after photos!
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful..as is. Thanks for the plug. Bet your trip was amazing. Drowned your phone??
ReplyDeleteHow strange are coastal towns! There is always a turquoise boat out of the water. And one wonders about it. Thank you for this universal image which left memories from long ago!
