Landscape Artists International: Sailboat Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Swirl" by Carol Schiff, 10x8x.75" Oil

I had so much fun with this sailboat painting! I have a photo of a sailboat regatta we watched several years ago. It was quite breezy and the little boats were buzzing around like bees, trying to complete their course.

I wanted to really capture the feel of the day and the movement of the water and boats. I started by applying texture to my blank canvas.

Then I attacked with a palette knife and plenty of thick paint, trying to capture even more texture.

It was a perfect painting day...I danced around the studio in between strokes. This little painting is at the top of the list in enjoyment and it still makes me smile when I see it!

Give it a try....and pin this if you like.
