Here's my contribution for this week's
While I appreciate looking at picturesque scenery
as much as the next person, I don't enjoy
doing landscapes in art. It just doesn't capture
my interest or imagination like portraits and figures do.
Consequently, I rarely post any landscapes
of mine since they all look pretty uninspired.
But I actually do like this one from a
watercolour class last year, so here it is.
Just pretend some of that atmospheric stuff
hanging around/above the shoreline is fog, okay?
I'm not really sure what the hell it's supposed to be.

Purple rain?
Very good, keep creating.
I like it a lot though I also get liking one kinda thing over another. For me that's macro over any other kinda photos. Just calls my name. So I do get that you like portraits better.
I like it!
I like it.... The subdued colors bring the sensibility of Fog.
😄 I like it! My favorite artist is Claude Monet so I really love impressions of reality and your example is very nice. The first Monet I ever saw* was a large canvas from the Water Lilies series. I sat and ogled it a long time and was mesmerized by an orange and white splotch in the upper right corner. Maybe it was the sun, but I like thinking Monet dropped a splotch accidently and left it there just 'cause. 🤭
*I saw it at the wonderful Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in KC, Missouri (my hometown). If you look up the museum online, you'll see a photo of the iconic outdoor art display...the world's largest shuttlecock! 😃 My high school poetry teacher was married to that artist and, yes, she was just as cool a teacher as that would imply!! 😎
Fog, or storm moving through. Either way, it is nice. Good for daydreaming.
it's a lovely painting - very atmospheric and i like your mark making..... almost gogh'ey
dee mum likes it!
@ Arctic Fox -- "Gogh'ey" is now my Word of the Day, LOL! Thanks!
@ Tundra Bunny -- Prince lives again!
@ Cleora Borealis -- I've always loved Monet, too! So wonderful for you to have had a cool art teacher in high school!
Lovely. I looove fog. So eerie, especially in October.
A seascape should look watery and atmospheric and this one certainly does! I love the colors, both sky and sea, and the strength of the headland.
Lovely!
I actually find that honesty really refreshing
Codex: very funny. I feel the same about landscapes. Just wish I'd told people that sunsets by the sea are pollution.
It's nice though.
...wowzer!
Very watery. But its supposed to be. It's watercolour!
That's beautiful, Debra. It would make a great decoration for International Woman Wombat Day.
Love,
Janie
Very Monet. Or is it Renoir? Or Van Gogh? Whatever, I love it.
Wonderful! really beautiful artwork! Have a wonderful evening!
@ Janie Junebug -- Hahahahaha, I agree.
Not too shabby at all. The only thing I can draw is flies.
