Come sail away on the Sloop RR47!

This is done in oil on 11x14 canvas board. I chose to eliminate the dome & instead add the alps in the background with the aim of directing the viewer to the focal point. I hoped to create enough contrast in shapes with the exaggerated roundness in the clouds

Comment by Maria Woolrich on September 12, 2015 at 21:20: Lori, this is a lovely painting. Using your artistic licence you have made the red boat the centre of attention. Lovely control of values.

Comment by Lori Ippolito on September 12, 2015 at 3:58: That makes sense Silke! I think Iwent too saturated with the blue - that's supposed to be reflecting that part of the boat Richard mentioned was painted for...??? I forgot the term!! I will go back in and desaturate it and indicate more of the darker color moving down. Thanks for the observation:) To be honest that same blue in the foreground boat seems too saturated now that I see it on the computer screen!
