“Receding Tide
at Seal Rock”
(Oregon
Coast)
Oil Sketch on Telati Pintura Linen Panel
5” x 7”
A week later I was still
painting at Seal Rock, weathering a storm on the 1st of December,
when I got another two small sketches completed from the driver’s seat of my
SUV. On this last sketch I again chose a
view similar to the previous post, but it’s earlier in the day and the tide is
receding, allowing for reflections on the expanse of wet sand; always
interesting to paint. There was an
obliging flock of gulls pottering about on the wet sand doing gull things, and
just generally reflecting … philosophical reflections, no doubt (sorry) … so I
just dabbed them in with my brush. I
enjoyed the previous 5 weeks painting on the coast, especially since I only was
going to spend a few days painting down there, after the exhibition opening in
Bandon.
There
was no imprimatura this time, and I
went straight into drawing with a brush on the white linen panel with the usual
suspects: Yellow Ochre, Venetian Red, Cobalt Blue, and Titanium White, all from
W&N.
