At least y'all haven't told me I'm way off track here!!<BR/><BR/>Mark - yeah, I saw those photos and immediately recognized my shack. There were also a couple paintings in that show that look like they might be this same red lobster boat...<BR/><BR/>Brian - I'd love to see you paint the Rockies!<BR/><BR/>Mary - thanks so much. I'm glad that the locals seem to think this is looking okay =)<BR/><BR/>Colin - yeah, I hate posting reference photos because I feel like everyone's comparing the painting to the photo, but I wanted to show that painting from photos shouldn't be about copying. I really had to improvise on the color here, even though the drawing was representational. I can only do that because I paint from life. And I'm not an expert at it by any means.Stacey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092020892186641387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-52962054318858204292009-01-27T06:42:00.000-07:002009-01-27T06:42:00.000-07:00Hey Stacey, The painting's looking good.

The sky color is really rich. I can't wait to see more of these progress photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-72359660459192370262009-01-26T18:57:00.000-07:002009-01-26T18:57:00.000-07:00Stacey: I love watching this painting come togeth...Stacey:<BR/> I love watching this painting come together - and you are right about the rocks in Maine - you are doing a great job on them. I live in Maine and your painting is really capturing the essence of the waterfront.<BR/>Mary<BR/><A HREF="http://www.marybullock.com" REL="nofollow">The Figurative Realm of Mary Bullock</A>Mary Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718356993209078250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-66150972235939841212009-01-26T17:52:00.000-07:002009-01-26T17:52:00.000-07:00Well, looking good so far Stacey.

But I have to say that I did a doubletake when I first saw this one. :) I wasn't expecting to see a lobster boat from Colorado!<BR/><BR/> Hmmm, now can I do the Rockies? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-87784395899397885792009-01-26T16:24:00.000-07:002009-01-26T16:24:00.000-07:00I get excited when some one paints my home state. ...I get excited when some one paints my home state. I've been to Monhegan and this is a sun rise photo, and you're doing fantastic realism. Most people would paint the Monhegan Inn or from the M I or from the light house or Black Head or Boats in front of Manana Island, so you switched it up. This months "Art collector" mag p34 shows Lipking and buds heading towards your gray shack. That's kinda cool timing.Mark Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265280667804429559noreply@blogger.com
