Georgetown Dinghy 2

I wrote on the description of Georgetown Dinghy that, “It is rare when I intentionally seek out a particular subject for a painting.  Instead, I’ll let the subject ‘find me.’  This painting is a combination of both.  During a trip to the shores and marshes of South and North Carolina, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular.  I simply wanted to capture the mood of the area with my photographs that I use for reference for my paintings.  At the same time, from previous trips to the same coastline, I was aware of the number of small boats that are used for transportation between the anchored boats to the dock.  And I hoped that I would find one that would guide me toward a painting.  That’s what happened in Georgetown, SC.”  The first painting was of a small red boat and this little white boat is the second dinghy or dory that caught my eye

The painting also became an opportunity to ‘play’ with light values against an atmospheric background.
