"I'll Follow You" - A True Creative Piece

"I'll Follow You"

Wasn't sure where I was heading with this one - it's a true creative oil piece. Found myself working on the background days ago and then sat with it for many more before deciding what to do with it.

Even as I painted I had no plan...just knew there were more Islands and reflections to come.

My hubby called this one EPIC - And that's a compliment! Where does this one bring you?

My son snapped a picture of me carrying it to my 3 season room to dry! Give's you a good idea of the size.

I called this painting "I'll Follow You" - because that's what I found myself doing as I painted. I followed the brush and my feelings and it slowly appeared on my canvas.

Have a great day - and thanks for stopping by my Blog!

Last Cribstone Bridge - Bailey Island, Maine

 Bailey Island, Maine "The Cribstone Bridge"

24x36" Oil on Stretched Canvas Painting

$1200.00

Here's what on my easel today - it's in the process of drying. I was going for a more impressionistic take....I wanted the painting to have a looser feel or as my Mom would say "Mr. Clean" look. I tried not to get to detailed, but that is always a challenge for me. Even the houses are simple in the background.

You can find some information about the bridge here. 
"A sidewalk was added in 1951 and guard rails in 1961. On July 19, 1984 the Bailey Island Bridge was recognized as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The Bailey Island Bridge is reported to be the only granite cribstone bridge in the world."
