Thailand Bay



Acrylic on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.
This is a scene from Railay Bay, southern Thailand Andaman sea, Krabi province.
The photo was supplied by Eye for the WDE at Wet Canvas.
A bit of a strange one from me. A landscape and acrylic to boot. But it was fun. As per usual, I eliminated unnecessary detail, pushed the color and toyed with selective, dramatic lighting.

    The colors in the trees are wonderful. Great depth there! From a fellow acrylic painter I'd say you hit this one!

    Hi, Edward. Thanks for your kind comment. "Serene"...A word that really seems to fit, now that I look at it again.

    Thanks, Saundra. I appreciate your words of encouragement. I need to simply spend more time at acrylics in order to get back into them again...they used to be my main medium.
    But the, I need to spend more time painting with oils...Lol!

    Yes, serene. That name seems to fit...and very skillful. And...it's sad that our hearing is so often dulled by the clamor o the world. P.S...got a surprise coming or ya in a few days.

    Hello! Serene, and solidly painted. You've mastered the knack of capturing the important parts of a scene beautifully. Tricky to do in landscape painting.

    Thanks, James/aka Allen Funt...old friend! That was quite a surprise. Although I'm much more handsome in a George Clooney way IRL, you did a grand job!
