Today started foggy, rainy and gray. And... then the big dark clouds drifted away and left these puffy, creamy clouds in a beautiful blue sky. So I took Paco out to the front yard and plunked down to paint this little painting from life. One lone sailboat (guess everyone else is at work) danced back and forth in front of Gould Island. After many interruptions (Paco found a dead mouse, he got himself practically 'hung' on his leash, he ran around my easel and toppled it) I finally came up with this. Paying a lot of attention to deliberate brush strokes, color transitions in the water, the sky and the two islands (the big piece of land in the background is Aquidneck Island), and in the clouds. Happy enough, considering how many times I had to jump up...
Beautiful and great composition. Is this your summer home? How nice to be on the water! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbi! Summer & Winter. Glorious in the good weather... can be a bit scary in storms! I wish you all could visit & bring your easels & we could have a big old painting party! Maybe someday ;)
