BOAT PEOPLE – ACRYLIC PAINTING

P1020452(1)

I was thinking about entering the marine artists exhibition in London. I had a couple of suitable paintings but wanted something a little different so that I could judge what it is that they are looking for a bit better and worked up this idea. Now that it’s complete I’m a little underwhelmed by it. I have got tighter than I would have liked. I’ll prop it against the wall and have a look at it over the next week or so  and make my mind up. I have used motifs that I have used as subjects before, in case you are wondering whether you’ve already seen it.

PINK FLAMINGOS IN THE MORNING -WATERCOLOUR PAINTING

Back to the Bolivian Altiplano  and the flamingos that inhabit the lakes. As the morning  sun burns the mists away it also warms the birds enabling them to move and start feeding on the algae which colour the lakes.
