Bayland View, 11-21-14

I started it plein aire with Ann Turner, and then re-worked in studio. The scene was very beautiful however we kind of face the sun which is all we see is shadows. So, I changed as if the light is coming from left when I worked in studio.

Comment by Laura Xu on February 26, 2015 at 19:20: Michael, if I remove the middle island should I also remove the piece of land at buttom left?

Comment by Laura Xu on February 26, 2015 at 19:16: Ann, Thank you for your nice encouragement! Is is fun to see the different styles painting the same scene. Have a wonderful trip to Utah Ann!

Comment by Ann Turner on February 26, 2015 at 18:08: Hi Laura, great painting ! I like the purplie color in the water. Its interesting how we can stand side by side but have very different paintings ! This is my last post for a few days. We are going to Utah for my Moms 90th Birthday. When I come back I will post my late workshop painting. I had to rub out a wonky boat and need to fix it.

Comment by Laura Xu on February 26, 2015 at 14:06: Michael, Thank you so very much! Ok, I can just scrape if off to fix it.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on February 26, 2015 at 13:55: Great job on the water, trees, hills, and sky Laura!!! I am really happy that you have a painting partner with Ann. Laura, you are going to hate me, but you do not need that large island shape in the middle of the water ..suggest you take it out ...and then bring down the reflections of the trees. The resulting expanse of water, will set a peaceful mood. The shape you have there is too "heavy" ...does noting for the composition and destroys the peaceful mood. :)
