I FINISHED IT

Hey Friends,  I finished this painting started at Carvin's Cove last week.

Below you can see the underpainting/sketch done with Golden's Metallic fluid paint.

I almost finished it and went to the photos to see how well I had done!  BOY, what a disappointment!

I guess, in my defense, it looks like my memory.  But it does not look like the real scene.

There were not any yellows like I painted, or like my memory stored.

So now I will do the same routine with a small one I started Monday at GreenHill Park in Salem, Va.

Will post that memory tomorrow.

Happy Trails

CARVIN'S COVE - A PAINTING WE DID GO

Hey Friends,  It was a lovely day here in SW Virginia.  It was getting pretty hot by the time we packed up.  Supposedly a HEAT WAVE will be with us for next several days.

I did my usual today.  I got my START on canvas.

Loved the way this path gently zigged and zagged its way along the shore.  I may have said already, that I like getting an understanding down on sight and finishing later from memory

Had to include one Fisherman.  Don't see too many motorboats on this little body of water.

It is a peaceful, quiet place to concentrate on your work.

LIFE IS GOOD.
