- Stonington Harbor, 20 x 24
I just made a few more corrections to the painting and thought I’d send them to you, along with the color photo, which I tried to include in the last post, but who knows where it went! When I looked at the color photo, I realized that the green bush was a rosa rugosa and I immediately saw the value of adding the bright pink pieces into it. I wasn’t happy with the background house roof and simplified it a bit. I’ve also played with adding a few warmer colors into the road. But now it’s under glassine and done! I filmed it today on a cloudy day. Yesterday I had bright sunshine coming in, so this version might be a little washed out. However, I thought it was worth sharing again. On Monday, I’m taking it with me to a talk I’m giving to 200 boy scouts and their parents on creativity!!! Thought they might enjoy seeing something summery. I’ll bring the black and white photo with me, and the color and show them the difference. I’ve written my 15 minute talk and look forward to it.
I admire your creativity and your talent and I am so appreciative that you will take the time to share your inspirations, creations and discoveries with all of us. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Marie! I really appreciate it. Right now I’m trying to be REALLY creative in coming up with subjects for my two class demos this upcoming week. They both will have snow and i just purchased a new round of the Art Spectrum extra soft tinted whites, which I’ve been using for years. So I’m hoping the results will be OK! Will post them. I hear you’ve had some rain in CA. Too bad you can’t have some of England’s rain!
