Chinocoteague calls

Urges that make me want summer and beach lead me to create this marshland landscape. It's funny it began as a cloud scape from Wednesday's cold and beautiful sky. Somehow I decided what it needed was marsh. I think a trip to Chincoteague is in order.
PS This is a small pastel -6"x6" but I think I will dive into a bigger oil based on it.

Unknown said...: Ah yes, Chinoteague! My son moved to Oak Hall in June and while I did not have an opportunity then to draw or paint, I knew I would be back (before he moved again) and paint there. Oddly enough, I noticed all the abandonned buildings, falling down sheds and other visually exciting structures there and now someone is burning them all up! I think I better get over there soon!; March 16, 2013 at 5:18 AM

Hi Cate, Chincoteague is a special place. Be certain to visit your son at Oak Hall and take the bridge across to Chincoteague. Lot's of inspiration!; March 16, 2013 at 1:24 PM
Donna T said...: Stunning, beautiful clouds! I can see where this would make a statement as an oil painting. The previous oil you posted is just gorgeous, Loriann - full of mood and mystery!; March 17, 2013 at 4:09 PM
