Blue Crab, 16x20", SOLD

While waiting on a replacement sdcard for my dslr camera, I used my cellphone to record this painting process (thus the wider angle of the lens). I think the quality turned out well and since the paint palette is also included in the shot, maybe the wide-angle lens is a better way to go .

Landscapes [and waterscapes, in this case] are fun to paint. So many variations to be had, ranging from realism to utter abstraction, with none of the worries that can come from painting portraits, for instance (placement of eyeballs, adjustments of skin tone, etc.). This waterscape comes from a reference photo taken at Lake St. John, where my wife's folks live. I wanted a long, horizontal view, so I went with a three panel painting (triptych), at twenty inches tall. I kept the detail to a minimum and the feeling of the painting style loose. To complete the scene I added the suggestion of American coot in the middle-ground and the lone egret taking flight.
