This large, gorgeous sailboat was sailing in Sister Bay, Wisconsin when I was last there for the Door County Plein Air event. The skies were putting on a show of their own, with glorious color dipping in and out of the clouds. Catching that colorplay on sky and water is a matter of brushing one color right up to the other, without crossing the line with the brush and "muddying" up those oils. I then pulled the palette knife across the top with thick, juicy strokes here and there to add to the depth. I sure wish it was warm sailing weather right now! This painting is number 789 in as many days.
just beautiful Tammie!

I love all the exciting cloudscapes you did this week, especially those with sailboats. Very beautiful work. Also, the horse and barn are fab.
