While I was at Captree I also did a small painting of the Fire Island Lighthouse across the Great South Bay. It looked so small from my vantage point. I'm usually much closer when I go to Robert Moses State Park.
I am enjoying your wintry landscapes! The distant lighthouse is beautiful! I also loved your moleskin sketch, you are great at capturing the essence of a snowy day. I love your pictures with a blanket of snow on them.
Both Captree views are super pictures which invite me to walk into them. Your paintings often affect me like that, as always it's your excellent handling of perspective and recession. They are a real pleasure to look at and make me think of the day when I've had my operation and am able to get out myself and work from life. Lovely work Joan!!!
Being a distance from the lighthouse works Joan, love this perspective :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful composition, Joan!
ReplyDeleteThe sand dunes are well painted but I love the peek at the lighthouse in the distance

ReplyDeleteOne of my ideals of the northeast captured in your painting. I think this is beautiful, Joan!
