The Captain's Log

[Enyaw]

11 x 14 inches .. acrylic on paper .. alla prima .. painted April 07/26
On a run which started with the abstract challenge and continues here. Not sure what will come of it but I have taken from abstract and added to my own repertoire and what will be will be. Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome. I combined a few of my older boat paintings into what you see here and that's why it's called what it is.

Even though I'm not a fan of abstract, Wayne, I like all of these latest ones you have done.

Thank you Sno. I guess more than abstract I am using abstract as well as painterly.

I definitely see some structures here and I like how you let your boat images veer into the abstract. Cool stuff, Wayne.

This is great! I see your sharp angles are still in play here. I agree, this is not an abstract - if an abstract means no recognizable shapes. I definitely see a figure (the Captain?) seated at a nondescript desk structure, but there's not enough detail to know if the person is making a log or gazing off.

Of course, the visible "ship" structure on the right is in completely the wrong place for reality, which is fabulous, and we also get these subtle leading lines on the top left and right that almost mimic the shape of a bow. Cool! Very pretty brown palette, too.

Love it!
