8 x 8"oil on masonite
sold
I was supposed to be packing. Instead, I came back to the studio to find my camera, turned on Ella Fitzgerald and did a painting. I'm pathetic.
This is most likely my last beach scene for a while - perhaps I'm craving the autumn colors and 60 degrees. Still.... I had to paint these girls. They remind me of those 'awkward years'. This turned out to be one of my all-time personal favorites too - I think it's what oils are meant for - the swushing, the daubs, the color - it's loose and casual and I love that.
I also want to wish you happy trails..... I'm heading out of town for a couple of days, hoping to get some divine inspiration. I'll be back this weekend. Enjoy.
This is great - it captures a feeling of being in cold water ... Lake Michigan is just that way!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see a painting of Ella! - Jolie Elman
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I think it's one of my favorites too. Just wonderful. I love those reflections in the water.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is wonderful, love the cool gray water and fantastic reflections.
ReplyDeleteBtw..you mentioned in an earlier post that use American Painter brushes...I tried them out with my last order of art supplies..I LOVE them, they hold their shape thru all kinds of abuse, I'm very happy to have found them...thanks for the "tip". =)
all your paintings are amazing - you have such a great style - so rich in texture:)
