Sailing

Sailing
11x14 Acrylic on Linen Hardboard
  The mast, rope lines, and reflections were a daunting addition that I was reluctant to add in.  So, after having it on the easel for 6 weeks I decided that if it didn't turn out I would just paint another.  I have a real fear of adding finishing touches on paintings.  The addition of just one color next to another, color relativity, can change the whole painting.  Been there done that.  ;-)  Thankfully those mistakes are becoming fewer and farther apart.

  1. It is beautiful. Have you tried doing a batik yet? Saunie did a beautiful one with a sail boat.
