Couldn't ask for a better subject to paint for one to get through the long wet winter months here in Ketchikan, Alaska. While out for stroll early last summer I came upon several kids playing in a row boat at the Knudson Cove Marina south of town. After snapping a few quick pictures of the kids playing in the boat I sat down to make a few notes in my sketchbook about the light and local colors. Having just finished the painting this year I still haven't thought much about a title for the painting. Not sure if other artist struggle to title completed art work? Hope to have this painting framed by mid-July for submittal at a local art show which is held during our annual Blueberry Arts Festival in August. The painting is roughly 33 X 24 and was done on Arches water color paper. Still may work a little more on a few highlights in the water. Thanks for any feed back. |
