I was assembling some paintings for the town’s big exhibition which takes place in the main Art Gallery. I had a few lined up for submission but last Saturday I got a call from my framer who asked if I still had my painting of a wave. This was going to be one of my entries. I took it around to my framer who duly sold the painting to a guy who had seen it when it was displayed there in March and who waited until now to make some enquiries.
It was a nice problem to have and I thought I would do another couple and see how they turned out. Above is the first one. A second is in progress. I included some rocks on this one and really like their warmth against the cool colours of the sea.
It may be a bit over complicated when compared to the one I sold ( and displayed in February on this blog). I certainly liked the first one’s simplicity, which is maybe why it caught the eye of the buyer – see below.
Other scenes of water and the sea are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com

Both are lovely – I love the ocean…

Somehow the one without the rocks just looks better…. 🙂

I think I over egged the wave on the one with the rocks. I am nearing completing the second painting I mentioned and I realise that the wave needs to be kept simple, as in the one you prefer. I was going for lots of action but ended up losing authenticity. Though I do love the rocks and the impact they make, so might have another go, but with a simpler wave.
Thanks for your input Kim.
