Artist's Comments
Acrylic on Canvas, 36"x 36"
Status: Sold When I saw the source photo, I knew it had tremendous potential. However, the source photo was taken about 25-30 years ago, and the Rowing Club today is not a reddish brown anymore. Today, the building is very dark brown with white trim. I thought about being anachronistic but then figured it's just too recognizable a building so I better update it. Thing is, the reddish brown makes for a better, more colorful composition. So I guess I kind of kept it, though I did update the railings. Landscape error that is going to drive me crazy is the red and white boat on the LH side: it is pointing the wrong way, out of the painting, though it is like that in the photo. I'll fix that later (Update: fixed, somewhat) The only message about this painting, if there is one, is this is a place where people have celebrations: they get married, they have anniversary parties, they celebrate life. The clouds look like balloons, the trees look like birthday candles, and the boats and water have all sorts of confetti color in them. It's just happy, that's all. |

 reports, 1d 23h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Bingo question - If 66 is "clickety click", and 22 is "two little ducks", why isn't 62 "clickety duck"?
98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature.
