Boats To Come

This past week I've not had a lot of time to paint, but I wanted to explore a subject.  I have a nice image from the Maine painting trip last year and, as you can see below, I did 3 versions.  The large image, above, was the last.  I started with an extreme light/dark study, below on the right.  Then I did a tonal version, in the middle.  Then I allowed myself to dig into the color a bit.  These are all 6x6's and if you are interested in any of them, just shoot me an email at kcareymac@hotmail.com.

More to come on this one.... bigger, different substrates.... just going to delve.

OK?  How are you guys?  Let me know!

Ever notice how first thing in the morning the water is like glass, only tiny ripples, and it reflects the sky so perfectly?  My favorite time of the day - oops, except sunset!  Anyway there are a few dories around here that sit so gloriously on the water at that time of day, it makes me almost compelled to get in, row off to my nice big sailboat (which, ahem, I do not actually have) and spend the day gliding through life.  This one is an 8x10, on a panel, and will pop into a ready-made frame.

So!  I couldn't resist taking another stab at the TURQUOISE Dory!  I basically punched up some colors, quieted down other colors, and added a small bit of detail to the lobster trap, and weeds.
