Docked in Fish Creek
Door County, Wisconsin
Oil on panel, 12x16 |
This beautiful boat was tied to the dock in Fish Creek Harbor, begging to be painted. The colors were striking, and the reflections in the water were amazing. I am working a little larger today - this scene just called for more space on the panel. The panel I chose also has the burnt sienna wash - which I have only been using on and off for the last month. I like it - I feel like it gives an energy and color harmony to the whole painting. I have only painted a handful of boat paintings, so this is definitely a learning experience. For some reason, I have always looked at boats and thought they were too complicated to paint. That seems to be the way of all things untried. I am finding that I like painting these boats in the water. It is soothing to paint such subject matter, and challenging to get the colors in the water right. As with each boat I have painted, I am not sure if I am finished - so I am letting this one rest. I'll see how it strikes me in the morning! This is painting number 213 in 213 days :)
A beautiful painting with great color harmony.
