Homeward Bound - A Work in Progress

This is a painting I started a while ago (see my post on 19 May 10) and needed some time to think about how I would put in the wave patterns.

I took a number of pieces over to my friend Heather's home to work on with her. This was one of them.

I originally had a few waves started in the lower left hand corner. With spending time away from the painting I realized that those were much too small for the size of the area of water and must be made larger if I wanted to create the illusion of distance.

Using French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, raw sienna and alizarin crimson to create some of the wave patterns and trying to capture the impression of movement in the water.

As I worked up the left side of the painting to the boat I used more of the French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and alizarin crimson. The wave size was also reduced. I also added some suggestions of waves across the water just below the horizon.

I will post this painting once I have completed the water, and I think I may also add a person onto the sailboat.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Waterfall - A Work in Progress

Today I didn't have a lot of time to paint with preparing the Treasurer's Report for the Executive meeting at KAGS.

I lightly sketched out a waterfall and put on the masking to keep the whites in the waterfalls and left it to dry.

I will post this painting later once I have gone in and put in the rocks and background.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Taking the Bait - A Work in Progress

Today was the opening for the Miniaturia show at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio and my two submissions were of juvenile Spotted Drumfish (see my postings on 21 and 23 February 2011).

I thought it was only fitting that I should paint a freshwater fish this time.

I have the under painting completed and will work on the detail next. I will post this painting once I have it finished.

Flat Out 1

I often doodle in my sketch book with pencil and my imagination.

Once I have them down I will come back and ink them in. These doodles are often the basis for paintings at a later time. This one needs more work on the composition but I think it has potential.

The picture shown here is an original 4-1/2" x 7-1/4” pen and ink drawing and is available matted and shrink wrapped for $25.00.

OSWOA - Snow Clouds 1

This is a painting using a limited palette of French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and raw sienna.

If you would like more information about OSWOA please go to my post on 12 March 2010.













The OSWOA shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper.

This framed painting is available for $125.00. SOLD
