What Brought About this Painting?

I have a cousin that is a very good photographer. Wait. I have several cousins that are VERY good photographers. One of my cousin's that took the photograph wanted a painting done from a photo so here is the result.

This was a fun painting to do - because of all the colors! I think I used every color known to man, or at least a version of it.

I think I am about done with it. I am still studying the canvas to see if anything feels odd or out of place. If I change anything, I'll update the photo(s).

Now for the actual photo (below) that the painting (above) came from...

Some artistic license, but the general atmosphere is there I believe.

And the proud owner of the painting...April 30, 2021

Painting in Progress Images…

First, I will show the photograph that this painting will be based on, taken by D. Jackson of Virginia.

Photo by DJackson, Nags Head, North Carolina Pier

Prep work on the canvas has begun. Gesso is the base, a minimum of 3 coats but as many as 5 can be applied no matter the quality of the canvas. Gesso improves the "tooth" of the canvas surface of even the lighter weight canvases.

Undercoating is in progress.
