'Sanibel Breeze' 11x14 pastel on pastelbordOne of my very favorite places...Sanibel Island and the Waterside Inn. I remember this day as being very breezy with whitecaps on the usually calm Gulf. I can hear the breeze rustling those palm fronds...wish I was there! I tried a different approach for this painting. I read an article about Kim Fancher Lordier (love her work!) and she does a value underpainting with dark purple Nupastel and Terry Ludwigs with a Turpenoid wash. I tried it and will definitely try it again. It sure had an ugly stage but I like the end results.
I always like the way you do palms. This is another great Sanibel Island painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Miki! Your comment means a lot since I know you know palm trees!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Sanibel since I was a kid (maybe 35 years?) But this evokes quite the memory of the place- really beautiful work btw!!
