Just Docked
9"x12" oil on linen canvas panel
Just a quick post to share a painting I recently completed. I took the reference photo when I was in the St. Simons Island area last fall and have wanted to paint this little boat that had just docked before we arrived at this spot to paint. It ended up being too windy to paint that day, so I took down a few notes about the day in my sketch book and took a photo so I could remember what attracted me to this scene while there. I loved the colors of the marsh grasses in the foreground and background, along with the yellow color of the boat itself. Might have to do this one larger!
Lucky you to be at my favorite place- Saint Simon's Island and to catch such a wonderful moment. Good job and just love when it all comes together!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you at Nancy Franke's workshop!! Yay- gonna be a blast!
This turned out beautifully, Denise. Great composition, and I love the warm tones in the sky, as well as the marsh grasses. Yes, I remember the high winds that day!
