I am just over the moon and having fun with all kinds of architecture and difficult perspectives these days. My hard work on drawing is allowing me to spread my wings and I appreciate that. This composition was all about the strong light and gorgeous reflections and these colors were just over the top fun. At my teacher Jim’s suggestion, I actually did a gray value study first and was very careful to get all the values correct and lay down some good neutrals. I then started applying all the yummy color on top of that. That allowed me to go for it and have a wonderful color harmony I just love. Those pretty grays pop through where I want them to and hold the painting together. Hope I explained that well enough for y’all to understand what I meant.
I also had to smile the whole way through this one and really wanted to title it the Newlyweds…Just feels fresh and fun and full of hope. I imagine the boats coming in after a day at work and the rows of fun houses are all newlyweds and in Married Housing-Europe style….I have no clue where my mind wandered to and came up with all that except for the fresh, fun and full of hope feeling I had while painting it…Happy Sunlit Fishing Village!

You have come so far Kathy. This composition called for great drawing skills and you proved that. The colors are hopeful and sunny just like newlyweds are. I get you!! Great piece!

Basics are so important…your drawing and values are playing off…this piece is lovely…fresh and lovely! The colors and reflection are perfect.

Une très belle peinture… Il est juste que le dessin est avant tout une excellent base solide pour une peinture.
Vos couleurs sont sublimes et jonglent merveilleusement bien ensemble. L’harmonie est parfaite tout comme son atmosphère.
Gros bisous à vous.

Beautifully done, Kathy. Your drawing and mapping worked well and I like how all the angles in this works so well in leading the eye. Good sense of distance, too.

You have inspired me to pick up a brush today. Have been so busy with dragon boat paddling, I have neglected my art. This painting is exquisite and showcases your very fine talent.

I don’t know what happened - I feel like I commented on this at least twice - maybe my comments are disappearing! This is lovely and well rendered, and the color is so inviting!
