I try to paint somethng every day, and Olly's Inspiration Challenge has me going back to photos from our fall fishing trip to Nova Scotia for a picture of yet another beautiful day on the river. I may do one or two more, but then I promise I'll move on. I left my wife out of the finished painting.
This is painted on an interesting paper, a 140lb cold pressed Indigo Art Paper. If you look carefully you can see it looks like a laid paper, and I like the way it takes the granulating paint; very different from the rough Arches and Magnani I usually use.
Charming sketch. It feels very unified. I like the sweep of the fishing line.
