A hot noisy Saturday night in town—like a summer party. Sophie and I spent the evening on the deck. I painted and she was ever vigilant growling at seagulls and napping in between. I did this painting without ink or pencil. Just watching the lights and the boats in the marina across the harbor as the sun went down and the moon came up.

Love the feel of this. Also checked out many of your drawings below and really enjoyed what I saw. You have a fun style.
ReplyDeleteThere is something silk-like (silky?) about water colour without "guidelines."
ReplyDeleteLovely!
What a beautiful scene - it looks so magical. I'm sure it was a wonderful evening.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I really enjoy your artistic style and look forward to the daily posts.
ReplyDeleteWow Jen, without drawing it first--beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely job capturing the feeling, Jennifer! That's not easy, but it's almost like I'm sitting there, hearing the lap of waves and the cries of the gulls...
ReplyDeleteI love this--it is very moody.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are having such a wonderful view from your deck.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So freshly and freely painted--and a superb subject!
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely! What a wonderful record of the fine evening spent with Sophie. nancy
ReplyDeleteStunning! Love the rich deep colors and how it all bleeds, one to another. If Sophie had seen the scene like you did, she wouldn't have been growling at seagulls, she would have been purring.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Jennifer! I love the night scene--it's lovely! Well done.
