Titusville - Ann continues to paint in pastels

 

Moonrise

Ann's studio is up in the cockpit, my office is down in the main salon. As long as the wind is less than 15 kts, she can work upstairs. The cockpit is fully enclosed but winds above 15 kts cause the boat to bounce and the bimini to have drafts, but less than that is fine. 

She's been taking a course over the internet (there are lot's of art courses available given the pandemic problem) and it's ideal for her. She will usually paint from a photo and "enhances" reality to her way of viewing. As she says, if you want photorealism, buy a camera. I like her paintings better anyway. 

Ann will complete a pastel in one to two days and then start on another one. One of the perks I enjoy are the paintings mounted around the salon, very beautiful.
