Down near the water in Sayville is the Maritime Museum, and on the property there are some old boats out of the water. They always make interesting subjects and especially with the autumn colors around them. This is 8 x 10.
Tomorrow is a big day for me. I belong to the Wet Paints Studio Group in Sayville and I will be the featured artist in their "Meet the Artist" series tomorrow night. I've been invited to bring some of my artwork and talk about my work and life as an artist to our members. They have been doing this for years, and asked me several times to participate, and I guess they finally wore me down. (I do hate speaking in public and then I also hate the sound of my own voice. lol) They usually film the presentations and post them on youtube.com, so when and if it is available I will post a link. Of course I'm not completely organized yet, but I figure I have part of the day tomorrow to organize the work I'm bringing...yes, I'm procrastinating. lol I will let you know how it goes.
Excellent painting, Joan! I love the Fall colors...You would've seen so many boats out of the water in East Rockaway during Sandy! LOL Good luck with your "Meet the Artist" series tomorrow. You'll do beautifully...I look forward to seeing you on u-tube!
ReplyDeleteLovely sketch, Joan! "Break a leg" at your presentation -- I'm sure you'll blow them all away! Will look forward to seeing your video sometime.
ReplyDeleteYou will do brilliantly at the Meet the Artist Joan, you have so many wonderful sketches to tell stories for hours, good luck with the night
ReplyDeleteI have faith it will go well, Joan. I can see this boat in all its pristine new glory in my imagination. I'd love it! Beautiful painting too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda. If it is too bad I won't post it. lol
ReplyDeleteTina, thank you. If I didn't hate speaking in public I wouldn't mind.
Lorraine, I will either talk too much or too little. lol Thanks!
Sherry, I hope you are right. Glad you like it.
Dear Joan - So wonderful that you have been asked to talk about your art and yourself- I know you will do a great job. Oh yes please share the link when you can. I love this boat scene. You really capture the feel of a place. Take care and I will be "looking up" for you this evening.
