"Porpoise Cove"


A brand new watercolour. 22" X 22".
I have not painted in water-colour for some time now having 
found such freedom with acrylics. 
It was sure great to get back to this medium which i love so much. 
The whimsical villages are moving down to the seaside now. 
I have several completed and though doing them in winter would be a good idea too! 
Skaters, bon fire, hot chocolate and starry, starry night is all good. 
This one is sold but there are others!
Sold.

Boats and reflections are a bit of a passion for me and i love doing them even though they take a while to make. This one is on a full sheet of 300 lb. arches CP paper. My initial plan was to make it quite dark but as the painting progressed it was wanting to stay light. Have to listen to the painting and let it guide me. I love when that happens and a new direction is unfolding as paint goes to paper. I thought i might post the photo i worked from here too for you to see. It was one i took a few years ago in Vancouver and always wanted to do something with it. Hope all are well out there in studio land. Blessings. Ross
