(7x11 each)I wanted to give myself a bit more room, so today I painted from my sketches on 7x11 sheets, rather than my usual blog-friendly 5x7.
It's weird, and frustrating, that you can see what you want to do so clearly in your mind, but what you get is something else!
I planned to concentrate on darks and greens and connecting shapes ... but I'm not quite there yet.
I love the way you share what you're learning by experimenting. You always make your surroundings look like such pleasant places to be, and I love the lovely effects you achieve -- the surprises, as well as those you're aiming for.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlene ... It's funny I can depict "pleasantness," especially when, today, I was feeling very punky/sulky! Painting must be a kind of counterbalance to my moods!
ReplyDeleteI do, too, Laura. These are lovely, as always. The pinks in the sky are gorgeous. I'm always impressed with your dunes and water and skies.
ReplyDeleteI love these beach scenes, such beautiful colour and vibrancy. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you had in mind, but these have such atmosphere, and a lovely rhythm as a pair. I'm impressed how you set yourself goals in painting too - wish I could do that!
