Yesterdays's Dream Put To Pasture

[Enyaw]

9 x 12 inches ... oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Nove 22/24
.. an old boat, once a treasure, left to rot, value: no measure.

Excellent Wayne. I like the light on the gunwales. There is something about old rotting boats. The stories they could tell of past happy days, with always the potential of repair and relaunch. And that probably should have gone with fiberglass.

 

[Enyaw]

In my parts it’s because the fish are depleted and the inshore fisherman was forced to abandon his boat and tackle leaving it to rot as none can follow behind. She’s gone boys, she’s gone.

I agree with John and think this old beauty still has dignity and tons of sentimental value. You made it look right at home, Wayne.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Donna. My teenage years had a lot of time in a small boat helping my dad.

A sad reality painting so beautifully.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Sanlynn.

 

[Terri]

Aw, look at the old girl! I love this! It's lonely and sad, but your warm palette adds life to the scene. It's just wonderful.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Terri. She’s comfy.

It was loved once. I can feel it. It's a great painting.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you. That’s a great compliment. You can feel the heartbeat.

Excellent painting. I don't see any water anywhere, how far was this boat dragged?

 

[Enyaw]

how far was this boat dragged?

thank you Sno. To the top of the hill of course .. the painting dictates that you look up from the bottom; no water in the sky.
