14x18 oil. we took our boat down the river and pulled ashore on a deserted beach to have a picknick. the day was bright but hazy and i stood on a sand dune looking down when i took the photo on which this painting is based.
the water along the shore line has a very fluid look to it and i don't know if this was intentional or not but i love the angle of the whole pic. makes it look like a snap-shot out of the family album.have you done any more lately. would love to see some more.
wow this looks just like a photograph,..the water gives it away just a little but even that is 100% believable,..i love it ...i want to learn to paint like this eventually,..its discouraging though cause i feel like im starting all over from day one,...anyhow top 10 all the way.

Nice! I really like the boat, though the shore behind could maybe use some difference in color/detail to balance it a tad more¤*Melissa*¤ 27 Jun 2004
