This is my submission for the DSFDF challenge. Karin Jurick posted a reference photo of what seems to be a lifeguard on duty in a rowboat on a Lake Michigan beach.
This was by far the hardest challenge for me so far. I enjoyed painting the figure and boat but the water, which I thought would be the easiest part turned out to be my biggest challenge. I learned a lot though and would like to try painting a boat scene again.
ooooo... I really like this crop choice Carol! The colors are spot on; so summery!
ReplyDeleteGreat entry, It funny how we all have different struggles mine was the lifeguard. Love yours.
ReplyDeleteReally nice Carol. Doesn't look like you had trouble with the water. The whole painting works together. Nice composition as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! I really like your color choices in this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Carol. Great job with the water and nicely composed.
ReplyDeleteGreat Painting. I like the crop. I just postponed doing this one.
ReplyDeleteCarol, Great color and movement in the water, nice entry!
ReplyDeleteGood cropping, great water and I especially like the way you handled the face and hands! Wonderful entry!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, great composition and I love the texture and your bold brushstrokes!
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting, Carol!
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting. The water looks great.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is how the water is reflecting on the end of the boat. And I agree with the others: nice composition.
ReplyDeleteA very nice relaxing sort of painting. The composition, colors and figure all give me that feeling.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
