AFTERNOON AT SEA

"Afternoon at Sea"

 July 8, 2010; 12x9", watercolor & mixed media on paper

I had to edit this post, because I really started hating this painting; 

I have been color balancing this photo of it - trying to get the "real"

colors, and finally realized that it's just a sketch on old watercolor paper

 with yellowish/peachy tint. So I finally left it alone, but not before deleting the previous photo and replacing it with this one -- the original flash photo taken

 last night at the sight where this trouble maker seascape was completed.

I declare: seascapes are not easy subject to paint. The digital photo that this

troubled little watercolor sketch was made from is so beautiful. I am posting it at Cabbage Rules my Universe site.
