Painting - Choppy Waters

This is a very rough sketch for a new painting, will  bring it into photoshop and fool around with the composistion, dont like the position of the four boats and I want to keep with the movement pictured in the boat in the right foreground.

This is the photoshop version of my sketch. Changed the square format and added more boats and movements with boats and lines, will try to keep with the energy in the water and boats.

This is the painting in progress, forgot to take a picture of the painting after I sketched it in and less complete. Have not painted the sails or the body of the some of the boats yet, and may use more lines and color variation, might add a mooring bouy in the foreground.  The blue in the water is darker and more navy than in the photo. This is on a 18x24 canvas.


Almost finished painting below.

More Waders

This painting is another in the waders series, used the bird sketches that I did awhile ago. Having fun with the colors and design.

Wader Close up

Finshed Painting - This is using one of the birds from the Wader, love the shape of this guy.  I had some stencils that I wanted to play with, I  liked the circles in foreground.  The support is board, so some of the texture shows through.  The paints used are Thalo blue and Indian yellow and Cad yellow.
