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.

    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.

    Gorgeous format and perfect composition for the size, Carol. Love that hint of abstraction with the bold brush strokes. One of my favorites to date!

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

    Very nice. I love the edge of abstraction and realism of this piece. The same goes for the previous post

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