Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.Here's a slight departure for me. I really do enjoy this style of painting. It's high key, loose, and free spirited. It's fun to kick your shoes off (figuratively speaking :) and play in the color!

Wow, Dean, this is GREAT! I love the thick paint and the beautiful colors - kind of reminds me of Francis Livingston's work. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks,Edward,my friend! What a huge compliment! I had never heard of Francis Livingston. I googled him...and now he has another admirer! Afraid I might have a ways to go to even come near. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't really read a "wow" from Edward at all! You really must have impressed him. I can't believe this gem is on a little canvas! You amaze me. Light and bright suits you too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful loose yet detailed piece Dean...The highlights are wonderful to the piece and the strokes...YES!
ReplyDeleteDean, you and Karin, Kathleen and others are always mentioning color and form and composition. Usually, I take it for granted. But in this piece, they all come together so well...It's like a textbook example of how to do it right!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job Dean, I'm dreamin' about sun and weather like this...cool and rainy here today. You really described it perfectly in a loose painterly manner.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it, Dean! I so love your animals and deeper hues, but this is one of my favs now! brilliant work! some of those color transitions remind me of Bonnard.
ReplyDeleteTruly delightful and brilliant painting! You have edited the scene to perfection and those loose and thick brush strokes are masterful! Bravo, Dean!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Dean. You are doing some fantastic work and really completing a lot of paintings. Go Dean!

I agree with the other comments on this one Dean, it is a GEM!
ReplyDeleteThe light and the painterly effects you have on such a small format are delightful, it captures the very atmosphere of the beach, one can almost smell the salt spray.
