When looking at a landscape the artist needs to look carefully, take what is hinted at and make it grow into something more beautiful (and imbued with emotion). More importantly, you need to reject whatever does not fit the vision. Sounds easy, eh? Painting is not for the weak.

Hi Loriann, When I lived in Arlington (and later Rehoboth Beach) I used to love trips to the Eastern Shore. Wonderful landscape and Chincoteague is a place unto it's own. Port Charles is another one of those interesting places.
Thsi is a lovely painting.

Wow! We came to your site this morning to check on what you're up to ... we both love this Chincoteague painting! Happy summer--

It's SO easy.
This is an amazing painting, really, it has a real refinement to it, attention to small areas (like the edge of the grasses) while maintaining that overall sense of vastness that you're so great at.
Indeed.
Love the apricot colors in the water.
Hi Maggie and thanks for visiting my site! I didn't know that you were once a Delmarva resident!
