Inspired

No guesses as to the inspiration for this weeks painting - you only have to look at the current Header

- but for those who miss this blogpost and read it in the future when the Header has changed...here's the inspiration




Oil on canvas board
16" x 12" 


I titled it "Further To Fly" because it felt like you could take off and keep going.

Beautiful painting Ann!

Thanks Eileen, it was very nice to paint as we had walked along the roadway/driveway* next to the view - I think it imprints on memory and that makes the painting easier.
* roadway/driveway....streetview doesn't go along it, but it actually leads to Bull Point Lighthouse ...when you have gone beyond the gate, hopefully the link will work ↓

WOW! The painting is sooooo much better than the reference photo! It DOES look like you could step right into the painting and take off! Well done! :D

Thanks so much Robin....this painting is proof that actually 'being there' and 'seeing' that view made a huge difference to the eventual painting -reference photos alone are well and good but never a substitute. 🙂
