I thought I'd go with an ocean theme again today - I so enjoy using the blues and greens. This painting had a mind of its own it seemed. I was enjoying painting the ocean but then realised I hadn't left enough room for the foreground which consisted of bushy sand dunes and a beach path. I felt it might just work without it and continued on. Maybe I will attempt it again tomorrow with the foreground included.
I love the ocean. What a nice little series you have going on! I can hear those waves and smell the salt air. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kaethe! I look forward to seeing your next rose painting!
DeleteBeautiful work on the water Wendy! I love the color too! I like the foreground like this because it allows the focus to stay on the water. I can imagine you can keep playing around with different variations of the composition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Celia. I'm glad you felt it worked even without the foreground. I hope I still feel inspired to stick with the theme tomorrow.
DeleteGood morning Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled you are choosing ocean themes!
Ocean paintings are so very high on my list of favorite things!
This is a gem! Bravo to you!
I love all the colors but I have a tremendous affection for blues and greens!
Again bravo Mate!
(When I was in college, during the hippy era of the late sixties, I wanted to be called "Ocean!"
Okay now the world knows!)
Great paintings! Keep it up Wendy!
Peace! Art on!
Michael aka Ocean
Good morning Ocean!! I'm glad you told the world!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that would have been an amazing time to be at college.
I'm glad you are enjoying the ocean theme - I thought you would!
I hope that I feel inspired to continue with it tomorrow - that is my plan at the moment but I will see what the morning brings.
Thanks for your ongoing support Michael - it means a lot to me.
Enjoy your day!
Wendy
this works beautifully just like it is. The ocean is so inspiring, everyone can relate to it's energy. I love the gradation of blues to the forground.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sally, I did spend a long time trying to get the hues right.
DeleteI do love a continuing theme. It's fun to work with the same colors and see what you can do with them. I love these two pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog Lou and for your very kind comments. I look forward to seeing your cats. Good luck with the challenge!
