Lakes and Seas


THIS is my very first painting I did when I was at art group in the old town.  It's the only one that does not have the sides painted as I did realize to do that.  It's my favorite type of paintings, drawings etc that I tend to do - tree, water, land.  Under it is the original first, first painting of just playing at painting.  It looks like a tornado in it though.


Nice painting of mountains reflecting in the water at night.  (Sort of)



This one didn't really turn out.  The idea was a night scene with a girl/woman in a boat with trees/shoreline in the back.  Then stick on butterflies leading the boat.  She has a gold staff to push the boat with.  Idea was good, painting is so-so.  😟




Back to another lake and shoreline, done with line trees.



This one makes me sing.  Originally I had used the wooden board to glue on a picture - podging.  It didn't work, and I pulled off the picture.  It left a square on it.  I just at first painted it with blue to clean slate it. Then I wondered, threw on some other blue, some brush squashes of white... suddenly I started seeing it looked like an ocean with high waves.  It needed something.  I thought a boat would be obvious, but as above my boating painting isn't the greatest and I really liked the ocean.  Thought of putting something totally out of the usual - like a cat or a pot.  In the end I decided to try I tiny little sail boat.  And yes it worked!  Funny after I looked just in front of the sail boat is a white or blank dot - guess it's leading it!  And the singing?  Rachel Platten - Fight:  Like a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion......
