Fisherman's Retreat

another attempt for the workshop - I wanted a "quiet" sunset - it's based on a scene from the lagoon down behind Montpellier - but I actually stole the cottage (which is very similar to the maisons de gardiens in the Camargue) from the painting my mother has over the fireplace! oil on canvas 55 x 65 cm

Comment by Michael J. Severin on December 23, 2013 at 9:45: Very good Jon. Your compositional lines bring us into the painting and to the figure. The painting is nicely balanced in a steelyard format. Looks pretty good to me, my friend!!:)
