Rushing Water, Georgian Bay

This is one of my favorite paintings from my trip... I had so much fun working on it and layering all of the colours and drips that show through the top layers. I tried to remain true to one of my goals which was to stay loose and keep some of the under-painting qualities. I also tried to use my colour theory and think about values and how the light would hit the plains of the boulders. It was challenging and exciting all at once. I am really happy with how the rushing water in the background came out- I was nervous about that part because, really, how do you paint rushing water??? Anyway, hope you, like it!

Thank you Barbara! You are and always have been such a great support to me. Hugs to you! XO
Love this one a lot Nicki, there is a pastel (medium) feeling to it!
So vibrant and fresh!
I'm glad you like it Pierre, it's one of my personal favorites from the trip. I agree that it has a pastel quality to it. Actually so does the painting "Moody on Flat Rock Beach, Georgian Bay"- especially in person.
Take care,
N.
