oil on panel, 2013
5" x 7" (12.7cm x 17.78)
In my recent seascape studies here is an oil painting. The dark rock against all the white boulders made for a good study in the colors of white on a bright sunny day. I pushed the saturation quite a bit on this one.
If one like this makes it to a larger more finished version I may likely pull back a bit on the saturation. Part of experimenting is pushing things to really find out what can be done. This allowed me to focus on the color cast of each area.262
*I photographed this painting while wet so most of the white specks are glare highlights. When dry I will rephotograph.
*12/28/13 I've uploaded this more accurate pic. Gone are the white highlight specks. Any left are the white of the board showing.

Thank you Michael,
ReplyDeleteI realized toward the end of this year that I missed the seascape.
Although, as always, I have more ideas than I can possible do I feel the urge to get back to my seascape roots. So look for more this year.
Keep painting...
I love the depth of this! Beautifully done! Happy Holidays and much success in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne,
DeleteThis is a bit outside of my usual work. As we approach 2014 I am looking to make some additions to my work.
Keep painting...
