Over The Past Week...

...I have been scouting out the location for my next series of paintings. The subject is Grey Bay, the body of water surrounded by marsh.


At low tide, the bay is nearly empty, except for the exposed oyster beds, while at high tide (and on a calm day), the bay is a glassy reflection pool.


This series of paintings will mimic the range of these photos, from low to high tide, full sun to moonlit.


But right now is all about finding the right angle, and once that is settled, I can really refine the mood, tide, and overall feel for each reference image.


Tomorrow though will once again be about dragging my ladder through the mud to find that perfect angle...
