It Feels Good!

It feels really good to finally be painting. I started another graphic painting of a lighthouse. I printed the photo, then roughed in the drawing of the lighthouse. I worked on the background yesterday. Today I will rough in the landscape surrounding the buildings. It is fun to pick some unexpected colors and see how they work together. I used cobalt turquoise and a light blue for the abstracted water shapes in the background. I plan to use a darker third color for accents in the water patterning, perhaps a blue violet or dark purple color. It is fun to see how the painting evolves each step along the way. Happy to be home and back at my easel. Yesterday's progress can be seen below.
