Seascape in Progress Painting

The copyright free reference photo I used is by Late Bloomer of Wet Canvas. I chose this photograph to paint because it has a beautiful late evening contemplative mood. The mood where one walks along or sits on the beach and all is quiet except for the sounds of the surf. A time to reflect or a time of peace. For me each painting is an adventure, never knowing if it will turn out as I have envisioned it or if it will have white gesso applied to it to wipe out everything that was painted.
Acrylic Dog Painting

Painting white or off-white is not as easy as one would think. Light cast on an animal or an object casts a certain color, then there are the colors from the surroundings. It may not be my best painting but it is my best dog painting, *grin*.

Seascape in Progress

24" x 18" on gessoed masonite. I will let this rest overnight and look at it with fresh eyes and in daylight, to see what, if anything, needs to be changed.

Painting Junk
12-01-06 I have a small painting that needs to be mailed today. Is the painting done??? Not yet! It appears to be one of those times that no matter what I paint it turns to junk. Perhaps my mind is on the experiments I want to do that will help me to see and paint better. I thought to share these trying moments by writing them out, hoping that will help me focus on what has to be accomplished in the moment.
