Paint Party Friday - Exploring

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!

Please visit the other talented participants.

I was browsing through this Wilderness type magazine at the dentist's office recently and thought I could paint this photo I saw. It's done in acrylic (3" x 4.5"). That's a canoe in the foreground.

Your canoe looks like it is moving, must be some pedal power. Lovely Christine.

Unusual viewpoint but very effective. I knew immediately that I was in the canoe and looking down the waterway. Lovely. You are clever to get inspiration from the dentist's office!

This vantage point makes me feel like I'm right there in the canoe, which is a little scary since I can't swim! I'll just imagine I am wearing my life jacket and enjoying the scenery.

I felt the movement too! :D

Nice work...so very peaceful.

I like the fact that there are no oars -- the boat will take you where you're supposed to go! happy PPF.

Natasha said...

I love the perspective of this painting. A very peaceful energy to the piece. :)

A very peaceful painting, considering you were at the dentist (eew). Makes you feel like you are in the canoe just calmly cruising.

I love how you can find inspiration every where - even at the chamber of horrors... opps I mean the dentist x

Gloria j Zucaro said...

very abstract, as if pointing to the two green hands that are reaching for the clouds! Isn't it interesting how our art takes us along to places unexpected?

denthe said...

Feels as if I'm in the canoe myself. Nice how you can pick up ideas anywhere, isn't it?

Alicia C said...

minnemie said...

Ahh, I really like this. It draws me in, takes me along, let's go!
