Description
Acrylic on Canvas 24" x 37" or (61 x 94 cm)
All weekend, it was render, render, render. But none were screaming for an upload.
This is a canvas for the nautical room in the house. I didn't know where to begin so I referenced a painting by Turner. I didn't look at it very much though, after the cup of coffee, (decaf btw) I had fun just splashing color on the canvas and pretending to be a great artist. After about an hour and a half this is the mess that emerged.
I don't know if I like it yet. After looking at the masters, it leaves me feeling kind of ashamed. But here it is, real paint and real canvas. Best thing I like is the colors and it's actual tangibility.
-Enjoy my friends

Oh Chris I love it!..... nothing quite like the feeling of slapping paint on canvas and getting all messy.... This image looks like one hell of a storm! PS: I can imagine how cute you looked with your little beret, and dashing French accent while working on this one. Oui, oui, monsieur jus de coq.

You "splashed" very well. So much life and drama,the poor ship has not much of a chance here. Above all this is vibrating with your joy of painting it!

LOL, oh I love your tale of this, and it does look like you had a lot of fun in the painting. And who is to say it doesn't belong up there with the master impressionists? I see the stormy sky, the splashing waves, the rocking ship - yet somehow the colors seem cheerful and pleasant, so I think the storm passed quickly. :)
