Be Still
Yesterday was the 100th post on this blog and the 170th on the other one. No surprise then that in the short time I have been painting I have not got enough paintings to always be putting new ones on here. So today I go way back to the first ever painting I sold to a person I did not know.
That person has since then become a good friend and has encouraged me to continue painting. She emails me from time to time when I least expect it and it is always an invitation to feel good. I laugh even now as I think of her and hear her saying, “How are y’all?”
In my other blog I am talking today about people who invite us to feel bad and those that invite us to feel good so it seemed appropriate to go back to this painting.
Somewhat abstract in nature it was painted on a very large canvas using acrylic.
Looking back to that time I can remember this being my first really big canvas and the daunting prospect. Now I have to stop myself from painting such large canvas, they are very difficult to sell and take up a lot of space when they do not.
I hope this one still continues to bring pleasure to its owner. How are Y’All indeed.

Ralph, I am absolutely blown away by the power of the sea in this piece. It is so very well painted and so very tempestuous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful painting! I love the vibrancy of the colors and the composition of the waves coming to a peak in the center. It's great!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing painting Ralph. Such a powerful composition and movement. I know what you mean about storage of large canvases :)
ReplyDeleteRalph - great crashing waves! I can feel them lurching around. Strong movement in this piece. I like it!
ReplyDeleteVery strong, dynamic piece, Ralph. Well done!
