... and here is yesterday's painting (it's been a busy week for painting). I promised myself that I woud revisit this subject after deciding that the support I originally selected was a bit too small. Having got a little more confident about the idea of working from a photograph - and deviating from it - I decided to work on canvas this time.
There was more room to work on the fiddly bits - like the lighthouse - and to play (the waves were rather fun to do). I think it's a little less gloomy than the
first version. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your perspective.
Oil on canvas, 16 x 20".

Really beautiful, Amanda. I love the richer blues in this one. I can almost hear those waves crashing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah. The original photograph is pretty much monochrome - it was a grey day - so all of those colours are invented! lt probably helps lots that I know the place tolerably well.
DeleteI don't think I'd fancy a swim, great colours.
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't look like the best time or place for swimming! Thank you, Beth.
