I've named this post Summer Sailing, but it would be more truthful to say Summer Lazing. We have spent more time at anchor just relaxing in the cockpit enjoying this fantastic weather. Cornwall has no equal when the sun shines. I have managed to quite a few paintings, so I haven't been too laid back.
I did these sketches to illustrate reflection (top) and shadow (bottom)
Just got an e-mail from James at Waterside Gallery St.Mawes to say that he has sold a triptych of
coast walk views and the painting of a crab fisherman in Porthleven that featured in an earlier blog.
your work is beautiful! I found your blog via Carly Hill.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Janette, technically accurate and interesting composition, colour and detail. Water can be hard to represent but you’ve got it nailed. You should do more - you’ve got a real eye and accuracy which doesn’t always go together for some people, they may have one but not the other and you’ve got both!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna, you are kind. I promise to paint this Summer!
