Acrylic on Canvas Panel

Yesterday while in Parksville, BC, I went to the boardwalk and snapped some photos of people on the beach. I am such a chicken I use my ultra long lens so I am not intrusive. This was a lovely little family scene. They were really focused on being in the moment with their young son. I painted it with a very limited palette, 4 colours and black and white, experimenting with Kroma Acrylics (made on Granville Island BC). Very nice. Still finding acrylics a bit of a challenge and my painting style is a bit different. It is all good.

Waiting for a Ferry

This daily painting is addictive. This was painted in my car while on the ferry. Bouncy. I had taken a quick photo of this man standing in the back of his camper using his cell with my phone on extreme digital magnification. Then drew a thumbnail. I was bored on the ferry so I went to the car and painted this painting in about 40 minutes. A wee bit messy.
