Seascape? Landscape? not sure, but it has land, water, and a building.
I've
always backed away from landscapes. Maybe that's because I was trying
subjects that I'm unfamiliar with such as hills, barns, mountains, you
know.... rows of corn. LOL !
I was
encouraged by a fellow blogger to try more landscapes and I thought of
what I'm most familiar with and that would be tropical scenes. Palms trees instead of Pine trees, and sea and sky instead of hills and mountains..
If you've ever been to the Keys in Florida you'll see lots of little
cottages like this.. they are hardly more than shacks but the sky is so
blue and the water so green that even a tent looks good there. !
Anyway
this is my attempt that I finished this morning.. I'm sure there are
lots of things a good landscape painter would change. Yes, I'll try it
again.. Barbra Joan

DeleteI like the palm trees, with the soft and hard edges in the foliage, and the texture on the trunks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith for your encouraging words that led me to the trials of landscape painting.
