reflection

Just playing around with a long, skinny format. This canvas is 4" x 12". I took this photo in Hilton Head right before dusk when there was great light making beautiful reflections in the water.

  5. You really pulled it off--the way you painted the young girl is wonderful and I particularly like the variation of color and shapes in the water that makes it go back and wonderfully abstract at the same time.

  10. I love this. I'm always attracted to long skinny supports. From a distance, it looks like an abstract.

  15. Carol, this is so fresh and lively. I'm guessing you used a black underpainting which adds a wonderful vivid quality. Excellent!
