I painted this one for Bill Guffy's virtual paintout blog. Each month he posts a location and artists pick a spot to paint using Google's streetview maps. This is the second month that I have participated and I am really enjoying it. I almost missed getting one done this month because of travel and the holidays but I barely squeaked it in before the month ended. I can't wait til Tuesday to see where the next location will be. This is done in oils which is much easier and faster for me to do than watercolors. My oil paintings are very simplistic because it's a fairly new medium for me but as I get more experience I hope to develop more depth, detail and interesting color. I still feel like I'm fighting with the paints because of their thickness. I'm so comfortable with the fluidity of watercolor and silk dyes that I'm feeling a bit out of my element with oils.Peggy's Cove

Nancy, this is beautiful and I love the clean lines and gorgeous colors. Wish I lived on this little cove!
ReplyDeleteThis is so colourful and pretty. I'm amazed that you're new to oils. I'd like to try it again but am wary of the smell and the mess.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the new location too!
Thank you Gillian. Yes, oils are messy and smelly but they do have qualities that are unique to that medium.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I would love to live there too. Everywhere I looked in that little cove could have been a painting. I wonder if the people that live there are immune to the beauty because they see it every day.
Keep at painting, that is very promising.
ReplyDeleteThank you John. I'm cruising Mexico City (virtually) looking for my next painting site.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity. You make it look like a most inviting place to be!
