Seawall
Here's todays. Does it feel a bit chalky? Julie 36x36 oil
Hi Julie, boy you've been busy! This is great, love the abstraction and fun to see you working in oils! At first glance the blue shadow in the foreground bothered me some, but after looking at it for a while, it seems to work and it provides a nice contrast with all the grays. Doesn't seem chalky at all. Love the buildings and shoreline too. Brian
Love this one too Julie. Lovely colors and nice soft touch. I don't know whether it matters or not, but I can't figure out what the foreground is... vertical wall with a narrow flat area on top (where the tree is)? Anyway, nice work.
