Shore Mates

12x 17.5 cm. Acrylics. Sometimes I wish I could stick to my decisions before painting... This one is also very small,but had the models there sitting for me! They came out very different from what I had planned... Just in case you were wondering...I said I wouldn't use more than 25 strokes, following TR method, so I really paid attention to each stroke...but used MANY, MANY more... and there are a lot of layers....btw, they were not on the beach, but on a shoe-box... didn't like the box...

Comment by Laura Xu on July 31, 2014 at 3:08: It is kind of abstractive, great!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on July 31, 2014 at 3:01: Thank you Betsy! You must find this funny, but I have never thought of putting green down!!! I had to look for it when you mentioned it!!!!

Comment by Michael J. Severin on July 31, 2014 at 2:06: Silvana, I really love your use of bold colors in the marine paintings you have posted!! ....

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on July 30, 2014 at 12:20: This is very harmonious. I like the green against the orange.

Don't feel bad about the 25 stroke rule. I'm the original "Fiddler on the Roof! " So you are in good company!
