Contemporary Seascape Painting

It's another boat painting for a Northern Michigan boater and collector of art---capturing the waves and excitement of being a part of the Boyne Thunder Race in July.  This beautiful boat is making it's way through the channel in Charlevoix, Michigan out into Lake Michigan.  I wanted to capture the colorful crowd, the neat lighthouse and the captain of boat - Jim - on canvas.  This painting is drying in the studio, and will be varnished before it is shipped Up North!  Painting this image really made me anxious for summertime and the Michigan beach.  Thanks for looking at this blog...If you would like to talk to me about a commissioned painting, contact ME.  Thanks, Kay

This painting is sold, but I am referring to it as I am working on a commission that has this lighthouse in it.  It is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Charlevoix, Michigan.  I have good photograph I am working off of, and of course a little memory.  Hoping to nail the details of this lighthouse down today.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

NSF - Commission

This painting is completed!  It was a commission, and I had a great time painting it.  The rocks were all done with the palette knife (my favorite part of the painting).  I started with a red-toned canvas, as the white surface was just too stark.  The reference photograph was somewhat different than how the painting turned out.  The sky and water were painted in with a bright brush, and although I did not want to get detailed with the fence and lighthouse, I had to be somewhat accurate on the proportions.  I want the viewer to know that the waves are strong and powerful.....bashing up against the rocks.  This is my post for the 25th day of the 30-30 Challenge.  I am off to paint today at The Dutch Art Gallery....stop by if you are in the neighborhood.  Kay
