Long Boats On the Shore 12x9 oil

This is the last of the Sexton workshop paintings. I did this right before lunch and spent about 30 minutes with the layout and basic shapes. Then it was time to pack up. I got this home and continued to work out issues and made some changes from the original layout. It ended up being a combination of a number of photos. I was glad to get it done. Still looking at it to see if there is more to do.

Like the painting, especially how the sky is treated as the shore fades away beyond the trees.

You must feel really good about the Sexton workshop, Dori! You came away with some great pieces! This paintings sings! Little kisses of sunshine and the muted trees and touches of red! I love it!

Beautiful job with this, Dori. I love the way you handled the trees.

As I've been struggling with composition lately, I can sure appreciate what you've got going on here...the way we're led in and the gently pulled back by the boats' rhythm. And the light sparkles, and the brushwork is great!
Seems like it was a useful workshop!

I love the repetition from the boats and how it leads my eye through the composition. There's a great feeling of light throughout too.

Another beautiful painting Dori, you had a tremendously successful workshop!

Lovely clean colors! I like the way the boats draw the eye across the canvas. Very nice!
