I see no ships. This painting is largely made up. The title is an old saying, It`s to do with some one looking for something, usually using their hand just above their eye`s, looking out to sea may be?
It looks like he's in deep thought enjoying that beautiful view. Another wonderful painting, Vic. I love how you painted the greens in the tree.!! Very realistic...
Hi Hilda. Thank you for your nice comment my friend. I don`t know what he was thinking Hilda, He wasn`t there actually, I added him because I thought he needed to be there. All the best Hilda. Vic.
Hi Susan. Thank you also for your lovely comment. It was the background foliage and the figure that I added. Mind you, I even altered the gate. Thanks for getting your Son to add a didget for you, that is when he can manage it. it is great for our Sons to fix things for us isn`t it Susan? All the best. Vic.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.
Great painting Vic.
