A wee watercolour, 14" X 18" about a family and all their memories rolled into one.
There is the cabin by the seaside, a raft with children, the sail boat they sailed around the world on, a kayak with hubbie and family pet and all the other marine vessels they've owned.
I had a binder full of photos to work from and put this together for them. They said they liked it! I'm happy with that.
Watercolour on Arches CP paper.
What a fun painting, full of holiday memories. There's so much to see in it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat. So nice to see you here. It has been a long time since last i posted. This painting was such a challenge to me. I kept putting it off until it became a real stressful part of daily life. I finally decided to dive in and once i did the water seemed fine! Crazy how we put off the things we will eventually do anyway. :)
DeleteSo good to see you Ross, your work is always amazing to me.
ReplyDeleteand yes, I'll be fine... thank you for coming by... and checking up on me.
So glad to hear you are doing okay Barbra and still happily painting.
DeleteWhat a lovely family painting - you've captured all their memories so beautifully. And that is indeed the best compliment for an artist!

Hello Kathryn! I was too afraid to reveal this to them because it is such a personal piece for the people who commissioned me. I had the gallery owner take it over to their house. The report back was very positive. Such a relief. :)
DeleteLove it Ross, and I love to think of all the stories it represents. Imagine the family trasure this will be down through the years.
ReplyDeleteGena so nice to see you drop by! Perhaps the Cowboy Festival this year. I am hoping to go. Perhaps you will be there too! I am glad you like this and yes, they will have it always i am sure. It represents their life on the water. :)
