1, 2, 3 .... DINGHY
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
white archival matte, glass + 8" petite gold leaf frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR
Since I am on the topic of the Ocean, decided to create this petite pastel. The scene I captured is from my recent trip to the Town of Avalon at Catalina Island in search of wildflowers. The tiny beach has a few docks with dinghies tightly roped and crammed together.
If you remember - and do hope someone is out there is reading this, with many thanks - it rained nearly the whole time I was there. There were such wonderful clouds between the rain drops, yet overcast the majority of the time. And it was very overcast at this point, so I attempted to brighten the painting with splashes of bold color.
One good thing about a dinghy - there's no need to dog paddle!
What a fun piece. There's something about all those splashes of color that make you what to paint them. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWow...so hard to imagine this is a petite piece...i bet it looks marvelous in person!
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece, colours, composition, subject, all superb. Love to see it HUGE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dynamic piece! Love all of the colors and angles of the boats.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelley, Julie + Sharon!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I did create a similar larger painting about 8 years ago, after visiting Catalina on my first trip. Tirage Gallery sold it. Then I returned to Catalina a couple of weeks ago and struck by the scene after walking down a pier - so fun!
Thanks Gwen. I have my fingers crossed (and voted) for you - good luck!
