Bathers-Figurative

This is my contribution to The Cloud Bather Challenge at DPW posted by that really fine artist, Carol Marine.
She stated that  the challenge is the foreshortened bodies (and the complete lack of sun).

I thought of a few titles that made me chuckle, but, thankfully, discretion won out. :)

This is by painting knife. I think I let a bit more sun in than I should have..but old habits are hard to break.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Marianne was the hostess who graciously supplied the great reference photos!

I chose the two water nymphs because I thought it was a great opportunity to practice with my painting knife. I like the swirling color blends a knife can achieve for the water. The figures were done with brushes. I feel as if I'm beginning to learn a little about using the painting knife.

This was painted over a red ground. I like how it peeks through and automatically harmonizes and energizes a painting.

Thanks for looking and commenting. You folks keep me on the right track!

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!

Beach Outing

There's something about this strange color palette that I like. The hot neon pink on the child was strange but I'm glad that I used it. Th dark deep green is a choice I've never used for an ocean before, but I'm glad I used it. Same goes for using a sky that dark blue for a sunny beach scene. I'm pretty used to a new choice working it's way into a painting occasionally, but this bugger's full of 'em. What fun!
