Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 12

"Harvest Moon"
Alcohol Ink Painting
8x10 Mat - $65

Did any of you see the Harvest Moon the other night? I was teaching a watercolor Paint Night Class at the Sea Dog Brewery in Topsham Maine and the moon was shining directly into the window over looking the river. The reflection was incredible!

For this painting I used Snowcap then added the blue on top to give it that overcast effect.

I'm in the process of hanging my work at Gallery 11

Tonight I'm looking forward to the Art Walk in Brunswick, Maine.
If you are local, stop in at Gallery 11 at Pleasant to view my work and a number of incredible photographers and artists, including my friend Debby Stubbs.

Harpwell, Maine Yellow Sky Reflection

Guess what...it's back to watercolor today! I missed watercolors! Seascapes are my go to painting...they are just straight up FUN to do!  This beautiful scene is of Harpswell, Maine.

The sky is a vibrant yellow with the warm reflection casting itself over the outgoing tide. You can see Joe's Island, the small island in the middle. 

 *Special thanks to Benjamin Williamson for the Reference Photo!

Take your home décor to the shore with this Coastal Harpswell, Maine Original Watercolor, ready to frame! With warm ocean hues of yellow, blue and beige, and black. This art piece would showcase wonderful in a black or white frame.

Painting Number 38 "Autumn Reflections"

   "Autumn Reflections"

  11 x 14 Watercolor/Gouache on 140 Arches Cold Press

Just want you all to know that I was so scared to show you all the original photograph! As I'm creating the post (such a typical thing I hope) I'm analyzing the painting more and seeing a few more things I could change. But I am going to leave it alone, I promise! 

I wanted to step out side of my comfort zone with a few larger paintings this year and Autumn reflections was a challenge for me. Not only is the size larger than my norm, but there is a lot going on in this one. When I first looked at the photograph I had no idea how difficult it would be to achieve the look I wanted. Took me longer than what was anticipated, but very happy with the outcome.
 


My cousin Valerie sent me the original photograph via Facebook. She thought it might be  something that I would enjoy painting - Thanks Valerie....you were so right! I love it when folks send me interesting pictures!
 

 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH BY CANDI

So here's the original photograph taken by Candi at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA. She certainly has an eye! This is just so cool! Love the warm reflections in the water. You can see the leaves drifting along..no care in the world.

I'm off to drift along and enjoy my family time.......enjoy your weekend everyone!

Latest Watercolor Painting - Rangeley Lakes Maine

"Rangeley Reflections"

8x10 Original Watercolor

Reflections are so fun for me...I start with the sky and move onto the reflection of the clouds in the water and then paint in the green of the trees. Then the final touches and details.

Rangeley Lakes is another one of my favorite places in Maine.

"Sunrise Reflection" Maine Island Inlet Watercolor Painting

KELLIE LYNN ART

 

"SUNRISE REFLECTION"

  (16x20" Double Matted)
$349.99

 Original Watercolor by Maine Artist, Kellie Chasse

Original Painting Size is 11x14

A very placid morning on the cove. 
The reflection in the painting was first painted as a mirror image then I used the dry brush technique to pull the paint down. This created the illusion of a serene calm water reflection.  I am a big fan of the "V" sky - it really pulls the eye out to the small island in the back.
