That barren wasteland between rows of barbed wire and the trenches, where the landscape has been obliterated by the mortar shells.
Acrylic on canvas:
All my creative pursuits.
A follow up to the Seven Days, Day Five post…. this is the painting on the easel. I painted the stormy Atlantic Ocean from our Outer Banks trip earlier this month. The weather wasn’t all that great, but I managed to get some interesting photos to copy in pencil, charcoal and paint! The ocean is very picturesque when it’s angry…
Yeah, yeah, I know. Like I need another, another hobby. I feel like it’s the natural progression from sketching however. I haven’t been sharing much art here, but I have been working away at it continuously over the last several months. The last thing I posted on the blog was a sketch of a poppy in a field. Here is the acrylic painting of that sketch. Given my work in progress is a story about the First World War, I think this is a good first painting to share.
