| Cozy Harbor Boats 8"x10" oil on Raymar panel |
Yesterday I went back to Cozy Harbor and finished the lobster boat painting. I can see a few things I might fix before putting it into a frame, but I've got the feeling that I was looking for.
I'm off on Sunday to Colorado for a workshop with Marc Hanson. I'm looking forward to that!
Optical Illusion Fascination
ReplyDeleteYou've painted a lobster boat optical illusion
with the lobster boat in the foreground.
Seen one way, the boat is angled away
from the viewer, the side windows of the cabin
seen the stern saying I'm going away, but
cover the stern, and view the boat as
angled towards you, the side of the cabin
open, like many lobster boats, and the front
windows of the cabin angled toward you.
It popped, the contrast in the boat
drawing my eye to it first and I had to
play with my mind to turn the boat around
and make sense of the stern.
