#96  Cattle Point gulls

6"x6" Acrylic on hardboard....$85CAD

I painted this from a reference photo I took while aimlessly walking around Cattle Point, Victoria, BC.  It was just after a big storm and the logs, that had been thrown around in the ocean waves  like matchsticks, were still unbleached from the sun.

I originally had a very dark background in this piece but wanted to play with colour a bit which in turn left my garlic bulbs looking very dull. Solution? More colour!

I've had this inkwell for a while not knowing quite where it would work in. I think the white chalk and black board give it a neat "old school" look!
