Description
This painting was done primarily in oils and a variety of oil mediums, over an acrylic wash, using a time consuming "layering" blend style/technique with paint over paint. The blending with done by using either a small brush or sometimes my fingers, to build on the layer(s) below. The time aspect was lengthy, due to requiring the paint to totally dry between each layer or overlapping color. If you look closer or enlarge this picture, you will see some of the canvas cross pattern texture showing thru, with the paint floating on top of the high parts of the canvas. This was a "work in progress" over a couple of years, and was done on a pretty large canvas. (again...I am a bit of a perfectionist*)
My works and style are unique, but the end product works. Especially in this piece. Please enjoy this special piece and check out my other works, both the illustrations and other painting, on my site. Thank you!

Originality Technique ImpactThe dark colours to accentuate different objects like the boats and houses really make them stand out and really forces the eye to look at it and the attention to detail with the little windows that you've done, although the clouds around the outside feels as if they're closing in a bit on the buildings which makes it feel as if it's all cramped together. I really do like this piece and the way you've used the colours together, it's stunning and the little details like telegraph poles, windows, fences, and the paneling on the roofs are like a little extra treat!
