So here are the two paintings of the same boat. Separated by 3 years, of course. Hm. The older one looks more like a sketch than a finished painting. Man I love progress! I'll have to paint the boat again in another 3 years and see the difference.

The back end of the boat is my favorite bit. The variations in white were exciting to see. I am pretty sure I didn't even see those colors in that white last time. Funny how blind I was to something that seems so obvious now.

I had to stop and take a picture. This is the really fun part, where the water starts tying together and looking like water!

Ah, the Zorbit.

I took a photo of this boat in Squamish, British Columbia a couple of years and painted a picture of it when I got home to the studio. I really enjoyed that painting, and I am enjoying it this time as well!

The difference between the two will be in the detail and the colors, I think. I see more in the photo this time around. I love all the colors in the white. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of the two side by side for a comparison.

This one is an 8" x 10" so it should be finished very very soon. I started drawing it in last night and started filling it in this afternoon. Lovely thing about small paintings- they are completed quickly.
