Original Creation

Island fishermen

Happyisland 02 Jun 2021

Had a really rough canvas to work with. Decided on an ocean beach scene. Then decided it was in the tropics. Then decided to try to add a boat. First time free hand painting a boat. I guess it shouldn’t be that hard when you think about it but coming from a stick figure background I’m actually happy it worked. Added a few birds to top of the painting. Canvas was an old painting I didn’t like so like I said it was pretty rough even gessoed over. Overall happy though. Learned some things.

Nice!....i particularly like the wash on the beach...that boat is low in the water ,hope there's a bucket on board!....great job Happyisland!

Your comment made me laugh. You are right it is low. Perhaps I should have had the fishermen waving their arms up in the air to signal for help :)

Glad you took it in the spirit intended, sometimes you have to be very careful what you say round these parts!.....NICE ONE HAPPY !

Takes a lot to offend me :). How else do we grow in our artwork? Maybe there should be a Simon Cowell option when we submit our artwork, for a third choice. “Receive feedback and suggestions from other artists in the tone and flavor of Simon Cowell.”

“Your piece is dreadfully awful.”
“Had I not had appendicitis before, certainly this would had led me there.”
“I can still taste the vomit in my mouth from viewing the repulsive canvas labeled your artwork.”

Well perhaps not so strong :)

Ha!...Brilliant.
