I decided I had to start the year off right, so on New Year's Day I took a ride out to Southampton. I did a little sketch of a store in town, but wanted to do something larger too. I drove down by the beach, where in season you can't park unless you are a resident or want to spend $30 to park for the day. On Sunday there were lots of free spots. This was the view I picked and painted from my car. The painting is 8 x 10. In reality it is not quiet as yellow as it is showing on the screen.
This is the sketch I did in my journal in town.
Love that gorgeous home in the 'Hamptons! Love the quaint town piece too. You continue to leave me awed, Joan.

ReplyDeleteHi Joan. I have been so busy for the last month. My daughters and their families were visiting for Christmas and New year and so I haven't had any time to paint or even look at my blog. I have just been looking through yours! What lovely pictures!This one of the house is terrific. You have got such a good perspective and the detailing is really great!

ReplyDeleteYour paintings are so wonderful, Joan! The comment comes to mind... "If you want real life in your paintings you must paint from life." You are putting so much life into your paintings!! Happy New Year, Joan!
