New Painting
Hey guys, I just finished this painting last week. First painting in over 2 years... been too busy.
It's just a little 12"x12" oil painting of part of a photo I took last year at beach in the Galveston area of the gulf. http://d2creative.smugmug.com/photos/154545568-L.jpg |
Good work Miko!
The sky and water look mighty fine. I will be there in a couple of weeks. I wish the water there looked so blue. I'd like to see a Portuguese Man o' War bobbing by for a little element of danger, but that's just me. More please, -GH |
I like your style.
|
Thanks newtx!
Giant Hamburger, thanks! Actually... it was weird, the water was bluer than normal that day. Here's the pic i based the painting on... I do remember punching up the blue a little when i processed it through photoshop. http://d2creative.smugmug.com/photos/83060323-M.jpg |
The painting is a spot on reference to the picture - very nice work!!
|
Nice job. But I keep imagining the swimmers getting a fishhook in the leg.

That's why I went swimming a few hundred yards down the beach. :paranoid: |
Fantastic!

:thumbsup:
Oh, what a mighty fine piece this is. It is something i would like to hang in my home on the waterfront, if I had a home on the waterfront. But that matters not, this painting is remarkably-superior and a glorious scenic picture is portrayed. Did you take the picture yourself? Where at? |
Thanks!
Yes, I took the pic last year at Surfside Beach. Gulf of Mexico about 30 miles west of Galveston, TX. |
I actually prefer the painting over the reference photo. The guy with the fishing pole looks more like a kid in an oversized cowboy hat, which I find has a lot more character. Great work, and welcome back to the world of paint :)

well done miko.
i'm always impressed by those (like you) who can paint. best i can do is draw with a brush. there never ends up being anything painterly about it. but you've really used the medium well here. i hope you are able to find the time to do more. |
That's deeply moving. I used to love to go to the beach with my family when I was younger (and still do now with my family), and this really takes me back there. Your skill is excellent. Thanks so very much for the memories!

Thanks for the comments! :)
