24" x 30" - acrylic on canvas - $400
In between drawing and painting views of Scotland (inspired by photos from a recent trip there) I have also been painting views inspired by my present location, at a cottage on a beautiful lake in Haliburton County, in northern 'cottage-country' Ontario. This painting is based on a photo I took from a canoe.
I worked on this painting after Highland Landscape and used a similar wet-into-wet-acrylic-wash technique to apply the paint and build up layers of colour as you can see in these progress photos.

At this point I began to add more opaque colours and though it appears less 'transparent' than Highland Landscape, some of that spontaneity has been maintained. I have been thinking about this particular scene and composition for a long time and am happy to have finally painted it (done!) and i am really happy with this way it turned out. I love the graphic nature of the composition, the abstracted reflection shapes, and the analogous colour palette.
Hi Patricia
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your website via Marion Boddy-Evans' site. I love this painting! It is interesting to see the progressive stages of the work.

Hi Jude,
DeleteThanks so much for your nice comments! And it's always interesting to hear how one comes across a blog. I see from your blog that you are a fellow Canadian of about the same age! Cheers.
