Sailboat on Superior

Sailboat on Superior
Oil, Plein Air, 14 x 11 inches


This was painted during the Grand Marais (Minnesota) Art Colony Plein Air event in September - the skies changed so rapidly it was hard to keep up with their movement! I was drawn to the way the warm light played on the boat, the flag, the buoys, and the dinghy, in contrast to the cold choppy water slapping all around. I hoped that the moored boat would be a captive model for me during my painting session. The stationary lighthouse stands guard in the background.
