5x7
Took a bike ride along the bay yesterday--each time I do I ask myself, Why don't I do this everyday? (Answer: Earning a living is very time-consuming ... ).
Stopped to do a little plein air sketching.
My dune grasses need some work--there's a balance to be struck in there somewhere!
Also, I want to stop being so "casual" about my evergreens, especially since they are often the anchor in a composition like this: I think the painting would be better if I was more observant about the tree's silhouette.
In my town every street ends in access to the bay and most have a thoughtfully placed bench.
that was a beautifully productive bike ride!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie. It was; today's less so, but still a good bike ride!
DeleteLaura I love this piece...the pink shadows add a lovely charm and the blue sea off in the distance draws my eye. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. The violet shadows were a last minute addition! Just before I packed up I decided I needed a non-green!
DeleteI like this a lot and what really makes me smile is that pink/violet color in the shadows!! Love it and it brings the whole thing to life for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhonda. It's so interesting to hear where people's, esp other painters', eyes go!
DeleteI love this little painting, Laura! It sounds like a perfect time - riding your bike and then doing some painting.
