Oh, there are a lot of blobs...the good thing about the oils is that things that don't look right can be painted out.

It's like two steps forward one back....

Re: Gull at the Jetty

Thank you Cinderella, Mups and Mart! I am really trying to get the colors right when I am out there. This general area is called the Emerald Coast becuase of the green hues in the water.

Muddy, I am goin to tweak that gull a little but it needs to dry first. .

Great stuff Surfermom as a failed bird artist myself i love to see my favourite subject portrayed. You have captured the Jizz of the gull well in the second picture.

Re: Gull at the Jetty

Excellent painting, Surfermom
You have captured the spirit of the sea with beautiful sea green colours. complete with waves and realistic Seagull as well.
Seascapes are not easy to paint.

By the way in UK we spell 'colors' as colours and spell checker always wants us to change it.

Anyone who paints has a certain amount of self-criticism. It's natural because you want to do the best you possibly can.

I think they are superb and I love the water. Water is particularly difficult to do.
