Early Bird painting. Calm. Funny how the early time is quiet and peaceful. How does the ocean know it is too early to get crazy? I like to paint and wake up at the same time. It seems to work out well. I just want hot coffee. This is painted on one of my own panels. Again gessoing both sides as well as the edges several times to make it archival as well as fun to paint on. This faces west so no sunrise view. Just reflections of color from the east. I painted the boat overall mid value and wiped out areas of light and added in darker values. I love to find objects in views that I can do that to when painting them into the composition. This painting is available from The Grenning Gallery.
