I will be attempting many little "ocean scapes " over the next several weeks while I am here in Santa Barbara. It's quite a kick to be painting this while back at home (British Columbia, Canada) the weather has moved into the double digit sub-zero category. On another note of smugness, this week I get to celebrate American thanksgiving, having already had Canadian thanksgiving. Somebody pinch me.

I love the colors you used! I will be interested to see your paintings of the ocean. I found out how hard those pesky, ever-moving waves can be, while painting in Maine. Congrats on two Thanksgivings! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWell Elaine, I am actually going to attempt a "wave scape" today. Wish me luck, I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThis is slippery stuff to paint from life, but no guts, no glory!
Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHope your trip is going well!
:)
As if your painting wasn't tantalizing enough, you complete the abuse with your written description - yes Gaye it's cold and snowing here in Canada but I am warmed by your delightful painting!
