Pre-Workshop Painting of ‘Susan’s Marsh’ Got Some Touchups Pre-Exhibit

Leave a reply

Before the recent workshop on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I tried to get in the groove by painting one of the places we would visit there.  I call it ‘Susan’s Marsh’ because it was based on a photo my sister took in showing us potential venues.  I didn’t finish it then, but did so a couple of weeks ago so I could include it in our new Maplewood Exhibit.  I decided to spice it up a bit by adding a heron — it was looking a bit too tranquil without it!

 

Sixth Effort ~~ Daydreaming in Cream

This one seems to pair well with yesterday’s painting.  I wanted to do them simultaneously so as to capture, if I could, somewhat of the same, dreamy, calm, mysterious feel.  (It’s actually based on a faded Polaroid photo I have in my stash.)

Fifth New Oil Painting ~~ Fishing in Cream

Today’s painting is decidedly different from the others you’ve seen so far.  It’s one of two that have a different color palette and strike a very dreamy mood (in my opinion).  We happened on this scene while zipping along on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.  It reminded me of a life very different from my own.  Fortunately, folks on the Eastern Shore and in my own Biloxi, Mississippi, still take the time for such contemplation.
