I was commissioned to do this painting for a friend of mine. We grew up in the same small town and she wanted a painting of the shore where we used to spend a lot of our childhood days. There is something incredibly nostalgic about looking at this. The lightning was her idea after the painting was already finished. I thought I might ruin the sky by adding it (and nearly did), but in all, I think it enhances the emotion of the picture. I love painting water. It has so much motion and variation of colour.
Erato was
one of the
nine muses
and has become
a voice in my head.
These meagre bits of
writing are the result of her
soft whisperings in my ear.
I'm also going to use this medium
to share my paintings as well.
Enjoy your visit. ^_^
