This is my first paddle painting with acrylics. My family had its annual White Elephant party yesterday after skipping last year for what else? I found this paddle amongst my stuff and decided to give it a shot. This would be the gift for the game. I coated the entire thing with GAC 100 first to seal the wood then a couple layers of gesso in the ellipse. I had waited til the day before as usual. It was well recieved and my sister Pam took it home. I know she was worried others might seal it as she was the second one to pick. It worked out for her and it will hang in her livingroom.#acrylicpainting#stlawrenceriver#ship#1000islands#paintingonpaddles#decorart#maritime
Beachhead at Four Mile Creek, Acrylic on canvas 9 x 12. I did this piece plein air last week while on an RV trip to Four Mike Creek State Park. Theres an interesting story about how this small creek played a role in the capture of Fort Niagara just four miles to the west. #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting #fourmilecreekstatepark #fourmilecreek #acrylicart #maritimeart #pleinairpainting #youngstownny #painting Available. DM for price.
Mitchell Rd. Pittsford NY for Paint Pittford Exhibit at Pittsford Fine Art. 11 x 14 Line and Wash. A difficult place to work as the traffic through the bridge was far higher than expected. Many stopped while waiting to cross and gave their compliments. I always seem to choose the sun from my left and wind up in the heat. Finally bought an umbrella. This piece now at PFA through October in the masters section. #watercolorlandscape #matchstickartwork #watercolor #landscapepainting #bridges #eriecanal #pittsford #pittsfordfineart
The John L Lloyd, 6 x 12, Line and Wash on panel. My second piece from the Clayton plein air last week. This boat and hoist at the French Bay Marina has been here for a long time. Word is the old board are being moved out to make more space for parking. I would have liked another day for another view. This piece won second place at the competition and has also sold. #pleinairpainting #claytonny #stlawrenceriverlife #thousandislands #matchstickartwork #watercolorlandscape #maritimeart #sailboats ##frenchbaymarine
Otter Creek, Alexandria Bay NY. Done during the Clayton Plein Air Competition last week. 10 x 14 Line and Wash Matchstick. Years ago we would drive in the harbor of the bay and work our way through the creek. The Big M grocery store is around to the right where boaters can tie up for grocery shopping. One might think they are in the Adirondacks. This piece has been sold. #pleinairpainting #matchstickartwork #watercolorlandscape #thousandislands #stlawrenceriverlife #watercolor #creeksandstreams #alexandriabay #claytonpleinair #rivermusegallery
