Dockside, L. Daniel, 6 x 8, SOLD
Back to paintings from Port Aransas on the Texas coast with Outdoor Painters Society... In the afternoon on that first windy day, we found a sheltered spot behind a building on the bay. This small shrimp boat was tied up to a wonderful, dilapidated dock. The scene had so much character; but it was tricky and I think I had to start over 4 times!!! Though it may sound counter intuitive, my final solution was to go smaller (I had been working on a 9x12). The reduced format forced me to simplify and got me over the hump. Whew!

Laurel,
I am a big admirer- always love your work and especially the St. Simons Island paintings. (My favorite place) You captured the area so beautifully. I really like the way you painted this boat- the composition is great and I love the soft quality of the painting.
You definitely got over the hump, your little shrimp boat has tons of character and the colors are wonderful as usual.
