Will use a 30 by 30 canvas. <br />
I took my small whaler out yesterday and took some shots of the houses and cottages along the Westport River, mostly near the Point and Lee's Wharf. I used some of theses shapes for reference, I am not good at just making up buildings.<br />

This is a photo of Bakers Beach in Westport Ma., it is on Horseneck beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, of course I am a bit bias since I grew up there. Getting ready for the Left Bank Holiday Show at the gallery in Orleans, Ma on the Cape, the show opens on Dec. 8, 5:00 to 8:00<br />

Here are the sketches I used for the painting, I usually just start quickly sketching with a subject matter in mind. I am working on a sea bird series and had an idea to title a painting Beach Bums, so I wanted to give the birds some charactoristics of old men you see in the park. </div>

My mantra to keep in mind - simplfy - , not so easy. Square format will use a 24x24 canvas<br />
<br />
Initial Sketch - pen and paper - 3 inches by 3 inches<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
<br />
Almost finished painting below.<br />

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.<br />

Dont like the weeds, will try to make them more blocky and colorful, maybe tie in some of the color I will use for the background and foreground. I want to incorporate some red into the painting, it really helps to pop the other colors.<br />

</div>Took a picture of the painting at this stage and brought it into photoshop. I added some red, worked on the weeds a bit, have to vary the bottom of the weeds, so they are not all growing in a line, also tried out making them blocky and more color, did a few bucket dumps of various colors for the background. The blue in the middle ground is too faded, have to keep to the original, just fade out at the top. Hope to get to work on this today.<br />
