Marina Reflections, L. Daniel, 8 x 6, SOLD
.
I live very near Westlake Beach, a wonderful, family-owned marina and lakeside park on Lake Austin. It's a charming piece of old Austin that has been around for 56 years - quirky and untouched by the fast pace of current life. Think about creaky docks, wooden picnic tables, beach toys and windchimes, the smell of boats and gas, and you may get the picture. This summer, the owners have granted me special access to come and paint there in the early hours before it gets too hot. What a peaceful way to start my days!! This is the first of my "Westlake Beach" paintings.

Good job on the reflections, making the water the dominate pat of the composition.
ReplyDeleteThe water and the red reflections on the water are so striking. Beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteSultry and loose ;) Nice.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful way with colors. The red canopy on that boat marks this painting. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job catching the overcast light and reflections, Laurel. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSmart owners!!! It's a win-win situation...
ReplyDeleteLovely use of color, Laurel!
Maybe in addition to your great art career you could be part-time Austin tour guide. You find some great old Austin locations.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI love the peace and summer stillness of this. I can feel the heat -- but it's just right. Super painting.
