acrylic on cradled panel
This Tuesday we will reconvene our critiques group with Tim Horn. We had an assignment given to us in June? Anyway, par usual, I waited til the last minute. We are supposed to paint an interior from life. I am either here on the boat or at work so I guess it was painting the interior of the boat. There are all kinds of mistakes going on that I won't point out. I will tell you though, that the blob thingy on the couch is our dog Niko. Yes, we are THOSE people. We do cover the couch as you can see. I painted this in 2 hours. I know...it kind of looks that way. It was a good exercise though!
Check out the 30 day challenge!

what a nice cozy mood here!
ReplyDeleteI like it. Beautiful palette and a great exercise.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view of your life. The boat looks really comfy and so does the dog.
ReplyDeleteMy comment just went away, I am way too tired I must have pressed the wrong button! Again.. I like this view of your life. The boat looks real comfy and so does the dog.
ReplyDeleteDog people are my favorite, and I love this little painting. You really captured the watery feel. Even in the thumbnail, I knew that I was looking at a boat's interior. Nicely done!!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. It really gives the feeling of the light and the enclosed space of the boat. Well done. Especially in two hours!
ReplyDeleteThis is great Kaethe. Looks really cozy :) .. Really great finish on the beach scene as well.
ReplyDeleteI think this looks fantastic - you're being too hard on yourself. It's a tough perspective and it's perfect. The whole contrast between the outside and inside is great too. And that "blob" -- ha! -- I knew immediately that's a dog. Incidentally, we're "those" kind of people too. Dare I say it, we have one on the bed with us at night too. Ugh. It's more laundry, but definitely warmer in the winter. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying following your "Challenge" paintings, Kaethe. The last one - the family on the beach is terrific too. They all are, but I can't paint figures, so those always blow me away. :) Take care.
Thank you everyone! And Kara, I have to say that I enjoy your "madden Girls" everyday! It is on our salon wall but was not captured in the painting!
ReplyDeleteMe thinks you are too hard on yourself, this is a delightful painting and it feels like you are just sitting there looking out. Love the puppy also.
