Boat at Martha's Vinyard
10" x 8" on stretched canvas
In June a few artist friends of mine and I drove up to Martha's Vinyard for a painting workshop. I had never been there and was so pleased with the island. You need to take a 45 minute ferry to get there. We painted in the old fishing town and I picked this sailboat to paint which was sitting in the nearby water.
There were some problems because first it was so hot and not much shade, and second, the boat kept turning around and moving in different directions, I found it difficult to draw on site. So I took photos and chose one view and went with it. I finished it at home and used a palette knife completely, which was also challenging. But I like the texture of paint you can get when you use a palette knife, even though it is not easy to put in details. I guess the painting comes out with softer edges looking more impressionistic focusing on the abstract shapes rather than total realism.
