A Commission

Digital photo taken in Acadia

 Study done in oil, 8 x 10

Since I was committing to a large canvas I knew I needed to do a small study to determine composition and color choices.  I had to simplify a fairly busy harbor full of boats down to what I thought was a nice minimum.  I knew the seaweed area in the foreground would be difficult as it was extremely busy with various rocks and multi-colored seaweed.  

Final painting
"Harbor Stillness"
Oil on canvas, 24 x 36
Private Collection
