Another Sailboat? Awww, Come on!!

I guess it was a slightly sunnier day when I painted this picture.  I think I've actually got a better hull shape on this boat, but not sure I captured the boat as well as I did on the last one.

comments please.

Sailboat WIP

Yes, its still a work in progress.  I need to add some railings, and some cables, but I think for what I have so far, its turned out pretty well.

bunny, veg, woman


Ok, so these two aren't really related, they just happen to be posted at the same time.  and to answer your question, no, there was no model for the bottom pic.

I think i got my proportions off just a bit on the first one.  I've got a rabbit as large as a pumpkin, and potatoes and corn that are dinky in relation.  Hmmmm, well, it is just a first attempt.

Enjoy

Catching up with some things


I haven't done much painting lately because work has been so busy.  I am desperately trying to  reclaim my lunch hour and painting.  I thought I would step back and do something simple to start back up, so I did the orange door.  It, of course, didn't turn out like I wanted.  But I still like it, there are some good elements there.  Then I did the little boat, and again, good and bad.  I've been wanting to do some different kinds of paintings for some time, and my friend Carrie was nice enough to volunteer for this painting.  Let me know what you think of these.

Boat at Dock

Well, a few things.  This one was really fun to paint, but I made like a million mistakes in doing it.  The clouds are almost non existant, the reeds in the front are there because I painted the underside of the dock poorly.  The antenna on the boat is really supposed to be the mast of a ship behind the boat.

But its all good, I had a great time painting this picture and for all its faults, think it turned out great.

Castle on a Lake

This one took me two lunch times to complete.  Well, it took one, plus about 15 minutes, but who's counting.  I think it turned out pretty well.  I really like the reflections in the water.  Maybe this will be the start of some really good paintings for me.
