Fisherman’s Last Light

[P. Barrie]

20” x 16”, oils on panel, from photo ref
Done in two sessions, about 3 hrs each. Pushing myself to paint fast, but got a little bogged ( no Pun intended) down with too much oily paint too soon. Managed to get to this point without too much fussing. Needs a few tweaks when dry enough to overpaint.

You do wonderful things in the realm of realism.

Gorgeous painting with super atmosphere. Love it!

Wonderful work, and the time taken seems short for the result, splendid work

 

[Desforges]

Very nice!

I love it as is. I know you like to go for more detail, but I wouldn't touch it up, or whatever you're planning to do with it because the looser the better in my book. It's a sweet piece. I especially love the gestures in the water and the greenery off the lake.

That's a beauty! Love the glow around the fellow.

 

[P. Barrie]

Sorry arty, I made a few minor tweaks. Just a wee clarification on the boater and his paddle.

 

[Artyczar]

Still amazing. You didn't "ruin it" or anything LOL! It's wonderful.

Beautiful, you've captured the light and I love the water

 

[P. Barrie]

Arty, laf, thanks
The foreground water ripples are looking a little abstract to me now after getting a little more detached from the painting. Not intended, but not sure if I should fuss with it.

 

[Artyczar]

That's what I like about it, but it's your painting.

 

[WFMartin]

I especially like your handling of the sky, and water!

 

[Grapes]

WOW, this is lovely work! I like your edge handling and thick paint. Colors show well and I like the water area very much. This piece is very interesting to look at.
