This painting is from my own photograph. It depicts a broke away chunk from a much larger piece, and the tone of the water only. The Water tone is created from the shadow of the Iceberg.
Wonderful depiction of Iceberg adrift. Don't worry about staying away,we are both in the same boat. I love the composition of this painting and the dark tones brings out the wonderful shape of the iceberg. Well done my friend. All the best to you and Rosemary.
Thank you my friend. I couldn`t wait to paint this one. I`ve never painted an Iceberg before, so I`m glad it has worked out. Rosemaries progress is slow but sure thank you Joan. All the best. Vic.
I really like this piece, Vic. I love the limited palette and the solid, crisp feel of the ice. I'm very much drawn to your style of painting, there's something a little Modernist about it somehow. It's simple but very evocative. I'm very much looking forward to popping back to see your progress. Have a lovely day!
Hi Caroline. Thank you for your wonderful comment on my painting of the Iceberg. Also I`m so pleased you like my style of painting. I shale keep an Eye on your blog in future. Hurry back from America and all the best Caroline. 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.
Dear Vic,
ReplyDeleteThe work is very interesting in composition, balance, value and colors. Thank you for sharing it.
