The 30 in 30 Challenge: Day 2

1/2/2016

5 Comments

 
It's Day 2, and I already feel a bit behind schedule.
Today's painting is big, 30' x 36". Don't doubt me,that is big for a daily challenge!
Rather than let you believe I dashed this off today, I confess that I've been working on it for some time now,  but today I declare it done.

Based on several studies done at the beach, this is another landscape abstraction.
It was a day when the rains came and went but the seas were eerily quiet. On Cape Cod that's not unusual as we head into hurricane season. You can watch the barometer drop, it happens that fast.

About two hours after I headed home, the skies opened. Luckily it was the pre-storm that I was after.

I hope you are not having the same abysmal weather we are in the UK. If you are, you have certainly captured the feeling in the atmosphere.

Very lovely painting :)

Evocative abstraction of the overriding deepness in color of the roiled sea yet the calm that precedes a hurricane.

So pretty! And love that it's Cape Cod. One of my favorite places. Hope you'll be on Artists Helping Artists more often. It's great having you and Leslie together.

Terrific job of capturing the tension in the air. I also like the pops of color. Boy you are right, this is huge for a challenge piece, even if it took a few days, it adds to the pressure.
