prime time

Think I bit off more than I could chew on this one. First time painting in a few days and I chose a 2 foot by 3 foot panel. And... a picture that needed lots of editing. There were lots of challenges but in the end I think I like it.
It has been so cold here in Alabama and other places that I chose to paint a picture from a warmer time. I took this photo the week I was in Hilton Head with Karin Jurick. Loved the light hitting these two prime timers.

  1. Carol,
    I remember the prime timers and you did an awesome job. Would love to see this in person! Wow, 2 feet by 3 feet- I bet looks fabulous.
    I painted a beach scene today also. Wishful thinking?! Stay warm!

  2. Boy, is this a ray of sunshine on a cold and wet winter day. I'm impressed with the larger size. Great painting, Carol!

  3. Les couleurs de votre océan sont d'une belle tonalité. J'aime la lumière qui inonde votre toile.
    Lorsque je suis allée voir mon amie dans le Maine l'été dernier, nous nous étions rendues plusieurs fois sur la plage. J'avais pu remarqué ce genre de scène, c'est-à-dire des couples assis sur des sièges face à l'océan.
    En France, sur les plages, je n'ai jamais observé ceci.
    J'aime beaucoup...

  9. Beautiful! Love the way you handled all the fabric, the sketchy shadow strokes and how really vibrant they are, carrying all the variety of color in the ocean to your figures. Really like the minimal-ness of the figures, their "barely-there" legs and the colors in their cast shadow. Wonderful!
