There was a slight problem on your blog. The right side of your script lines weren't visible.
Thanks, Carol. I'm looking forward to seeing your version of this scene!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liz, for the kind words. There were a multitude of compositions within that one photograph! Glad you like this one.

ReplyDeleteDean , Your work is wonderful. I love this piece. I enjoyed reading your answers from the tag you got. All very nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Dean- It could just as well be the North Coast! My grandpa used to rent a cottage in Port Clinton every summer right on Lake Erie (Now it's all Condo's). This reminds me of those particular lazy, hazy days. Nice work! -T
ReplyDeleteDean,
ReplyDeleteNice warm, clean colors.

Great composition Dean. Love the bold colours.
ReplyDeleteYour color palette and strong "outlines" make me think of Paul Cezanne, both his figure work and still lifes. This is outstanding!
ReplyDeletegreat colors and great strokes! I love your art.
ReplyDeleteThe way you presented your work is fantastic...Close-ups are really nice...:) BTW I have started a new blog dedicated to my sketch work — Art on Sketchbook
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dominique. Thanks for stopping in.
ReplyDeleteHi, Tom. Glad to have awakened a few memories or you. There is no higher purpose for a painting.
ReplyDeleteBeing from Akron, I am no stranger to the North Coast...Lake Erie. As a youth I spent a few summer nights out on the rocks(guess they're called breakwalls)fishing for channel catfish.
Hi, Maria and Vern...Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAngela...Cezanne?? Thanks! I am flattered for the comparison.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your kind comment, Arti.
ReplyDeleteHi, Megha...Thanks for the kind words. Your sketch book looks great!
ReplyDeleteDean, I love your painterly style, and the dsdf piece you did here!
ReplyDeletenice job Dean, really liking your brushstrokes
ReplyDeleteHi, Deb and Sam...Thanks very much. I appreciate you taking time to stop in and leave a comment. I really admire both of your styles of artwork!
ReplyDeleteI gotta say that slightly curvy diagonal line at the top of her bikini bottom makes the painting.
ReplyDeleteGreat color and composition throughout. Nice job.
I had a first glance at it...and thought it is a photograph.
