My Art Bucket List contains becoming somewhat proficient with oils. I have done a few but became frustrated with the slow pace. I joined Bill Whites weekly studio classes in Caledonia NY to become smarter about the methods and materials. Oddly, Bill asked me to repaint some watercolors with oils. This is one such piece with a different background. Perhaps the Old Masters had something right with watercolor studies. More to follow. Oil on Linen panel, 12 x 16. #oilpainting #thousandislandscanada #thousandislands #skiff #stlawrenceriver #smugglerscove #maritime
St Brendan's Church Rockport Ontario. Finally got some time out to paint. Shady spot by the Boathouse Restaurant. Several boaters arrived for lunch at Cornwalls and asked questions. I met the owner of The Amaryllis B and B. He was very interested in my approach. I also showed him my 8 x 8 of the B and B. Nice guy. He's selling the Amaryllis from what he said. Find it in my posts. A few touches left on this 9 x 12 paper on panel. #rockportontario #stlawrenceriver #stlawrenceseaway #church #maritime #watercolorpainting #pleinair #thousandislandscanada #thousandislands
Art by the RV: Deer Island Boathouse, The Ledges. This stone boathouse pairs with the Ledges Cottage on the head of Deer Island. My web site has the cottage on display in the Matchstick and Ink section. This piece is drawn in that style but in graphite pencil. 9 x 12 on watercolor panel. #stlawrenceriver #thousandislands #watercolorpainting #maritime #stonebuildings #boathouses #islandlife
