A Feather on the Beach

A Feather on the Beach

Yes I posted a very similar painting to this one the other day with a poem. I put this one on today with no poem. Why?  Because I decided that I would like the challenge of trying again to paint a watercolour. This one was one that I had painted before and it seems that many people had enjoyed it.

The question for me was simple, could I do it again. I made some slight changes. I feel that I have at least done two things in the last few days. I have produced a work of art and I have got back into my running shoes.

Somebody told me that when you found a feather on the beach it meant that somebody was thinking of you. I find many feathers on the beaches where I walk. I hope the thoughts people are having are good ones.

I am not 100% happy with this work and feel I will try once again but I leave it with you. The previous one was two blogs ago if you wish to compare.

    Hi Ralph ! I've enjoyed both your feather paintings. Done in watercolour, they have the true feeling of the sea water having just been washed over.... very etherial. :)

    It's amazing! I think watercolor is your niche! Now you can teach me how to do that!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.. this is my favorite and I think you do so well with watercolors.. You have to remember that not every one is going to go well ... I like to think 1 out of 5 will be a keeper.. watercolor is difficult but when that one turns out ( like this) it's such a boost.. !!!

    Oui je l'aime aussi cette aquarelle. J'aime cette plume qui semble se mouvoir dans le cosmos.
    Bisous et merci pour votre gentil commentaire Ralph.
    Sur la plage je voudrais trouver des bois flottés... et je n'en trouve pas! mais je penserai à vous si je trouve des plumes...
