Remember in my last blog I touched briefly on something called "artist liberty"? In yesterday's post, I mentioned how I took liberty with the clouds in that painting to give the work, what I felt, was the right feel for the scene. Today's highlighted painting has quite a bit more of that liberty.
I started with a snapshot of the Camden Hills that rise about 800 feet just west of the towns' harbor. I deleted all the buildings from the waterfront area. I was primarily after nature and all of her glory - including the wind in the sails of the boats.
The original is in California with my dear friend Cindy. It was a going-away present several years ago as she was moving from mid-coast Maine to (at that time) the southern United States. Even though it was created 15 years ago, and I still see this same area frequently, the piece still has a soft place in my soul.
Until next time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
