Daisy Bay

Oil on canvas 12x16". This little exercise kept me very busy. I’ve scraped twice my “energetic brush strokes”. In the end, I use the painting knife to apply them. It could do with more scraping but I felt for poor canvas so, I’ve decided the leave it as it is. My friends, feel free to analyse it and comment.

Comment by Ana Murza on July 19, 2017 at 16:10: Thank you Jon! I do feel the same, and I was kind of intrigued and in the same time I found controversial the cool green Richard put in the shade of those trees. I tried to mimic it but some how it came out wrong. Than I scraped it off and tried again with not much improvement and start again. Yes you are wright, for me not only the trees but the foreground are too cool in parallel with the heels in the background. Therefore the sunset effect is lost. Thank you your for sharing your view, I do appreciate it!

Comment by diane boucher on July 19, 2017 at 9:41: Great Love it all. I know what Jon is saying about the cool greens but Pohutukawa trees certainly have that cool green in their leaves. Love the water

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on July 19, 2017 at 6:41: Love the shapes of your trees Ana and the foliage is so convincing, also the light is beautiful!

Comment by Jon Main on July 19, 2017 at 3:47: Hi, Ann - I too like the foreground modelling, etc. a lot . I feel though, that the trees/greens are too cold?
