#2 - Looking West


Looking West, 6" x 6" oil on gessoed canvas, © 2013 Nancy Van Blaricom

I enjoyed painting this one. As with a lot of photo references, they bring me back to another time.  The photo for this painting was a few years ago on boating trip in the San Juan Islands.  This was taken from Suscia Island  looking west.  From where we were anchored there was a beautiful scene with beautiful colors in every direction.

    This is beautiful - you make me feel as though I am there. (I also love your first entry for this challenge!)

    Nice!! I especially enjoy the way you handled the rocks and soil on the island.

    Thank you Katherine ... its all a learning process for me, one I hope to find easier as I paint my way through the 30 days. *grin.
