Recently, as the weather has began to improve with the season of Spring, I thought of the sea. The blue sky and sea seemed to inspire me to start painting sailing boats. Obviously, I still wanted to stick to abstract art but also to add a bit of realism.
The above painting had many people say good things about it, so much so that I decided to paint another one.
I did want to differentiate between the two paintings by changing the blocks to a slightly different shape. Apart from this small change I actually liked the combination of the sky and sea, so only made it slightly different in the second painting I named – Nautical 2.
In Nautical 2 I added additional shapes to increase interest in the painting. Both paintings were completed in acrylic on a canvas frame of 60cms x 80cms. I enjoyed working on this size of canvas as it was for me, just the ideal area to paint on.
When completing the third painting I decided to add sails.
For this painting – Nautical 3 – the addition of sails adds to the interest for the viewer.
