A tribute to Summer!

'Saturday' 24" x 28"

Something on the smaller side for me, as of late, but still fun and packing plenty of presence!  A 'water scene' for sure, although regardless of home many paintings I tackle with water as a major element, each presents its own unique challenges!  As per usual with me, the basic composition or arrangement of shapes and colours with in the format or edges of the painting is the first priority, and I am quite pleased with how this one comes off.  The water dominates and is framed along the top with just enough info to give it a feeling of a particular place.  Choosing names is always a fun distraction while executing a painting, and for this piece which I think epitomizes many folks ideal of a memorable 'Saturday', that is what I went with.   The handmade frame seems to work very well with the painting, judging by the many favourable reviews it is receiving here in the gallery!
