"Beach Bones" 9x12 oil on canvas $700 |
Second one I did at Fort Worden on the Olympic Peninsula. If you look through my blog posts you will see many paintings from this location. I love it because you can set up in one spot and do two totally different paintings.
For this painting I started out by toning the canvas and then doing a rough sketch of the driftwood leading you into the scene. Something I do a lot around here! There is so much driftwood!..As I progressed into color I started working out the simplification of the sticks and stones. As often happens with a scene this complicated I got it wrong on site and touched it up in the studio.
By the way, Happy Fourth of July!! Let Freedom Ring!!
