The Long Island Maritime Museum contacted local artists to take part in an auction/sale fundraiser to be held in October. Due to Covid 19 all their prior annual fundraising events for the year were cancelled. During the recent storm, Isaisa, some of the shingles blew off the historic 1900 Frank F. Penny Boat Shop. The shingle pieces will be what the artists do their designs on. I decided that since I've painted and sketched on their grounds so many times it is the least I can do to support them. I have two shingle pieces to paint. This one is 9 1/2 inches by 1 3/4 inches...yes, quite small...even for me. lol This was done with acrylic paint on gesso.
Actually it looks like a bigger piece. You did an amazing job with this!!
ReplyDeleteI put the pen in the photo so you can have something to understand the scale of it. Glad you like it.
