This is a studio acrylic from a mid day photo taken from the west end of the Port of Sacramento. Mid day photos can be boring. But it was a great steping stone from which to paint... just bring in some sunrise colors, add a tramp steamer and a few more dock poles, and voila! Ya gotcha yourself an interesting painting.
David--great minds think alike. I love this piece. I did one based on a similar idea involing a huge oil tanker and a tiny (by comparison)lobster boat. The port in mine was Portland, Maine. I didn't have quite the wonderful mood available to me that you captured so well here. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Jack! Stay warm in Maine, and enjoy your painting.
