Hazy, Hot, and Humid
12 x 12
This painting did not have an easy delivery.
I had it close to finishing but a
largish male figure on the right side
wasn't working.
While wiping it out I dropped the painting on the floor.
Face down.
It had "good bones" so I thought it was worth saving,
however it's hard to keep the freshness of the original strokes
when that happens.
I did a lot of wiping and used a ton of paint!
NOTE:
I'm not sure about the ocean color.
Darker may be better,
but I wanted it to feel like glare.
First thing I noticed was the funky water/sand color combo. I REALLY liked it! You know - the glare from the water really does make it lighter - play with colors - it's different and fun!! (Love the 'dropped it on the floor facedown' part! )
ReplyDeleteNice rescue effort :) I love the color of the water with the warm sand tones. Good you kept your cool when the thing landed face down. Really great painting.
ReplyDeleteI love the complementary and vivid colors on this one. Very bright. Beautiful work.
