12th Street Palms, 12 x 9
.
In an attempt to paint on the beach one morning (still on the GA coast), I realized that although it was early, I was already too late. The sun was way too high and the light was just too bright without an umbrella or some sort of covering. However, just over the dunes these palm trees were casting beautiful, crisp shadows and there was a big shady spot to stand in!
Oh Laurel,
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly beautiful painting. You are just too much. I opened this and almost fainted with joy! Wowee. So incredibly good.

ReplyDeletebeautiful, love the colors-so different from the Iowa's color palette. wonderful brushwork too, you make it look easy.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Laurel. The shadows falling on the stucco are wonderful. That reminds me, I need to pick up my Laurel Daniel original!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the picture, you can feel that hot Georgia air. Beautiful painting and love the colors.
ReplyDeleteDisarmingly beautiful painting, Laurel. Love the colors and composition!
ReplyDeleteCompliments on your complements!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the color of the shadows. So cool they make the light look even warmer.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like the way you kept the shadow of the palms light and cool instead of going dark with them. A very nice feel.
ReplyDeleteRR
Wowser!
ReplyDeleteYou are a color harmonist, extraordinaire!
My most favorite part of painting. It creates the drama and many artists do not get that.
Since taking a workshop last March with the incomparable Carol Marine, I begin my process by deciding on the colors I will use which eliminates having to try and find them as I work.
