September Paper Bag Faces---Autumn on my Mind and Tales of the Sea

9/13/2014

What a luxury to be able to finish two in one day!   This will help make up for the one I missed on Wednesday.  13 done out of 29.

We read the book Seabird in school this week, and it made me want to paint a sailor.   I wasn't sure how to capture the feeling I wanted, the feeling of an old man in love with the sea and with his ship,  but somehow it just came out perfectly in this painting, at least to me.   That doesn't happen all that often!

At first I wasn't as fond of the painting below.  There are things I like about it though, and some friends on Facebook have helped me see it with new eyes.  It does capture some of the feeling of Autumn. 


Looking forward to a Day of Rest tomorrow, and coming back renewed on Monday.    Have a beautiful Sunday!
