Lake Hollowell with Ducks
8" x 16", Oil on Canvas board
Sold at $45.00 plus shipping.
I got new canvases from Ray Mar, and wanted to try something with this new size. Since it's snowed here, and this photo just looked so "perfect summer day" (although painting there in August was hot), I used it to try the new format. Doesn't it look peaceful? Thanks for looking.
Interesting about the linen. I've been using both their portrait and landscape cotton canvas and the landscape is way too rough. I've been coating it with acrylic modeling paste in order to smooth it out a bit. Is the linen much smoother? The water sure looks smooth and peaceful and I love the "widescreen" format of the painting. Lots of room for the ducks to swim in.
Welcome to my daily painting blog. Here I'll post my efforts to paint one small painting a day, with a little wiggle room by saying five per week. I work primarily in oils these days, but also love my watercolors. I hope you enjoy my work, and as always, your comments are welcome.
