For Sunday Sketches and Summer of Color I did an acrylic (4.5" x 6.5") on cardstock. The Summer of Color theme is 'Wild n Reckless', a sherbet in green apple, blue raspberry and purple fruit punch. I'm pleased with the way this one turned out! I used the colours as a background and added the sailboat as a neutral focal point.

I have again stolen this to see if I can duplicate it in my own untalented way. I'll let you know if it turns out very well. It may be awhile. I have had a painting of a barn sitting on my desktop now for weeks, awaiting my hand at painting it. I think i'm trying to imprint the picture on my brain first so I can do a better job of drawing and painting. Yeah, that's it, that's my reasoning. 8-)
ReplyDeleteyou love boats don't you Mrs Zody? You're most welcome to try your hand at this one, looking forward to seeing your interpretation!
