    beautiful painting Jinny, cook comes from my part of the world and if this is what he saw i’m amazed he wanted to come back, i love the colours

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    Thanks James yes I agree it is just wonderful . up further there are lots of stingers in the ocean so they would have been safe from those! I guess there’s no place like home though with your family.

    Nice work Ginny ! A great vantage point and render of the scene.

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks James! really nice of you to say. when I was trying! yes trying to paint this on the spot ?? I had to keep moving out of peoples way so they could walk up the track so i gave up and did most at home.a lot of people get very aggro if you look like you are taking up more space. happened to me a few times some weird stories …..people deliberately sitting right in front of me when they could easily sit else where..

  • reflector

    reflector

    That sure is strange ! Most people would try to stay out of the way and be polite when passing.

    Haven’t been to 1770 yet but it looks very beautiful to me….
    Great work!!!

  • rightasrain

    Lovely painting! How do you stay away from realism? I find that so hard – I get caught up in what I see but I’d really like to simplify.

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    thanks. oh yes hard!! , I think I got cranky one day just couldn’t get things right and changed the trees to pink and it led from there.

    I can’t get abstract at all though just can’t get my head around that all all!

  • rightasrain

    rightasrain

    The colours are lovely in this – the dappled light. Maybe that is the way to go – to change a colour and go from there as you say.

  • Virginia McGowan replied 2 days ago

    thanks George , this was absolute fun to do and I did one portrait first up just didn’t like it then turned it around and did this on top , so the paint is rather thick ,it took months actually as I kept adding bits…
