Sometimes a painting will take a bit longer to feel like it’s finished. And with watercolor, you can't make many adjustments before the paper is saturated and the paints swirl together in a muddy color. I did a Liltie Series painting of this picture a while ago, but it seemed the perfect subject to try again – to give me a chance to further explore the spectacular evening light and the deep shadow tones. This week’s painting, Solitude, 8” x 11” seems to capture the depth of the dark shadows along with the explosion of color in the evening sky behind the kayaker.
We are heading into Memorial Day weekend and looking forward to gathering at the beautiful Oakland Cemetery in Marine on St. Croix to celebrate the memory of my Dad and the many other loved ones who have passed on. Take care and be safe this weekend!
