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.

  20. 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.

  25. 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?

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