Deer Island

We are off to Barcelona tomorrow until Sunday, so I shall miss the painting trip to Stanmer Park on Wednesday.

Of the dozens of paintings done over the last few months, very few are landscapes, and it was time to address this fear. A photograph by Sundiver from the Image Reference Library on Wet Canvas was chosen and this is my interpretation of the photo.

Now I know why I avoid landscapes - the level of detail I feel compelled to include means that they take absolutely ages. Some lessons need to be learned from my friend Reyma (aka Marcel) on WC who would have knocked this off in about 20 minutes!
