Well, this isn’t huge progress, but at least here is the photo from which I’m working. I did a Google Image search for “toy boat” and found it on Steph and Mike McDowell’s Blog. Of course, I asked permission to use their photo—Toy Boat at Jardin de Luxembourg—and Mike so graciously allowed it. Thanks again, Mike!...and the color of mine here looks more ultramarine than my actual painting--it's actually much closer to the color scheme of the photo...
a unique comment that i aint done already used, is a feat I can't muster, but the much used "amazing" comes forth from my fluster.
ReplyDeleteheheheh...that's like, the best poem ever! You could write that for every comment and I would never tire of it--Thank You Glenn!
ReplyDeleteAs always, that's a lovely rendition, B! As with so many of your paintings, it evokes such feelings of tranquility and serenity within, so thank you! (And, for the record, I loved your hay painting, even with the UFO...)
ReplyDeleteAw, Laura, thanks so much for stopping by--we sort of let the summer slip away, didn't we...I trust you are enjoying your last few weeks in Michigan--what wonderful weather we've had this week...:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And oh boy does it fit your story!!! WHICH I sooo owe you the critique on, sorry! Tomorrow. Tomorrow's Saturday. It could definitely happen. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think it goes well, Michelle! Meanwhile, I'll just continue to flood your mailbox with revisions! :)
ReplyDeleteEvocative of warm summer breezes and sweet times together with parent and child. I love your style and choice of subject matter. This is a wonderful painting. It's always so much fun to share your progress on each piece that you post. Thanks for including us.
ReplyDeleteUsually I don't like a painting better than a photograph, but this time I do.
ReplyDeleteSharon, you have such a lovely way of expressing yourself. I really enjoy sharing the process. Thank you so much for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteLiza--spoken like a true photographer! I haven't put my finger on it, but quite often a painting of a photo really looses something in the translation.
...Perhaps it's the spontaneity of 'right time, right place' with some photographs; painting is so much more calculated (at least mine is)...Perhaps sometimes the beauty is in the spontaneity, and sometimes it's in the calculation...
