        Another plein air from a camping trip. Quite astounding to view these dunes.

            Looks great with this perspective!
            (Maybe make the foreground a little more
            intense – now the hero is the water.)

            a very loose painting.

            Are you on dry land these days or am I confusing you with another member?

                Hi Doug, Your memory is correct, I did live on a boat for many years but now we are dirt dwellers. Sold the boat and bought a small RV for the summer.

                cheers

                I would love to RV around America and Canada.

                    Yorky, on this trip we stayed primarily in state and municipal parks – Michigan has wonderful state parks as well as Georgia and the Carolinas

                    Ernst, thank you for your comments – excellent advice!

                        Beautiful Deb! Lake Michigan has a gorgeous coastline.

                                Nice painting. I like the composition. You might focus on the depth of the painting and perhaps push the distant shoreline by softening the values a little. I find using soft cool blues tend to push things back also.

                                    Lovely plein-air. I might have move the large green plant on the right a little more toward the center for better composition….but then again, this is plain air and you paint was you see.

                                        I value your comments and suggestions on improving the painting. It gives me ideas for a studio piece. Thank you very much!
