Rockport Palms 8 x 10 oil on canvas |
This was the view from our campsite in the Ancient Oaks Campground. I really enjoyed the pond. There were so many birds on and around it. There were seagulls, whistling ducks, a redhead drake, a blackduck, blue herons, several varieties of doves, grackles, and lots of others as well. At night the tent was filled with the songs of crickets and frogs. I really was drawn to this thick clump of palms and the strong vertical it presented as a composition.
I can see why you were drawn to this composition, very strong. You did a beautiful painting Douglas.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for taking the time to comment. I always especially enjoy hearing from people outside the US.
ReplyDeletegood composition. Follows Edgar Payne's "L". Not sure why, but I don't relate palms to Texas. Guess I should get down to that coast! Will we be seeing some bird paintings?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting Douglas. Great composition.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Doug... but where are all of the birds?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to camp and bird watch. It was also a great place to paint. Beautiful job.
