RSSCozumel West Shore Painting
I painted another smallish Cozumel beach study this week. This one is a little view on the west side of the island. The west side of the island is home to the awesome Cozumel snorkeling reefs the water was much calmer on the west side when I was there although was rarely as calm as I painted it here. I love how blue and transparent the water is I can’t wait to put on my snorkel and enjoy the view. This painting may appear to be complete but I am calling this one a work in progress. I like to work alla prima, completeing the work all in one sitting on something of this scale 12 x 16 inches. However at times a painting just needs more and that is what this little blue-gray gem is telling me it needs more, I just need to decide what that is.
When I go back to Cozumel this spring I plan on doing a few watercolors in my spare time (If I have any). I will be posting a few warm up watercolor sketches in the next month or so so check back and find out whether I can remember how to watercolor.
Temple of Posideon (1989)
The last serious watercolor sketching I did was in the late 1980′s while I was traveling in Greece and Italy. I have included a photo of a watercolor painting I did at the temple of Poseidon on that trip. I sat on a big old block of marble for an hour or so and made this 12×10 painting. It was a beautiful sunny day the sun was glistening out on the Mediterranean sea or the Aegean I can’t remember my geography that well but, I remember the sunshine because I wrote about it in my sketch book. I hope you will check back soon. Check out the small paintings I have for sale on Ebay. I you would like to own any of the paintings you see in my Blog or on my site e-mail me for details.
I am an old student of yours and you are my biggest hero.
Do I remember a story about you and a student coming across some naked girls here???
No, That was on Corfu and they were just topless.
