My first painting of 2015. Our house overlooks Richardson Bay and a spit of land called the Strawberry Peninsula. I've wanted to paint an atmospheric watercolor of this scene for some time. I watch the tides come in and go out daily and it makes for an interesting subject. I was trying out some new Daniel Smith colors, particularly perrylene violet ,which dominates this painting. I could have included some yachts but wanted to keep it a more quiet peaceful scene. I'm still thinking of maybe adding a few yachts though.
Nice Jean, glad you have your brushes out

ReplyDeleteLovely serenity and beautiful luminescence of the sea.
ReplyDeleteA very beautyful and calm scene. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like this. It has a very atmospheric, tranquil feel to it and I think you were right not to include yachts. What a great start to your 2015.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't include the yachts either... the scene is enough as it is...
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting Jean, love the solitude and peace in this painting.
