The House by the Sea

That was more interesting and more difficult than I thought!

Maybe I'll do it again, hmmm - my initial concept was to have the boats bigger and see the houses between them...

Comment by Jon Main on July 7, 2016 at 8:12: Thanks, Michael and Ruby, I thought of leaving the block of flats out but thought I'd just downplay it... ...in reality the boats were lower with beach between them and the buildings - I thought I'd raise them as much as possible... ...I seem to have a problem with tangents! Good advice, folks! ta

Comment by Ruby on July 7, 2016 at 7:23: When I looked at this painting I knew there was something about it that wasn't quite right and it took Michael's know how to spot it. Remove the tall grey building and I agree you will have one fab painting. Way to go Jon :))

Comment by Michael J. Severin on July 7, 2016 at 6:49: Nice work Jon. Looking around at your colors, I see that you are starting to paint the light ... which is a humongous step forward. If you do this again .. as you have mentioned ..... maybe think about leaving that tall building popping up there in the middle .. out. Also, beware of tangents .. such as the point of the left boat touches the horizon line .. the buoy tangent with the shadow, and a few other places. It seems like anything dealing with the background was a barrier that could not be crossed? No tangents, more overlapping to push the town back. Now, having said all that ... this is a pretty darn good painting!!! :)
