You've got a shimmering feeling to this - it looks cold! The figures are beautifully painted, and I like the clean shadows too - lovely, Laura!

Beautiful painting! I love your shadows -- really creates a mood.

I really like this photo and was impressed with the many interpretations. I never got around to doing it, but yours turned out quite good Laura. ai really like the drama of the shadows.

I liked the photo too, Sharon. A good example of lighting making the painting! Too often I think I try to make something of a subject that would really be helped by dramatic lighting.

Wonderful! I can just feel the cold, and that shadow is such an integral part of this painting--I love this!

Teresa said...

Great job on this, Laura! It's very fresh and dramatic.

Thanks Sue and Teresa. The dramatic shadows really made this fun to paint.
And thank you, Armenia, what a nice thing to say ... I love your sailboat painting: so serene!
