Commission: View From The Dr's Window

[L Skylar Brown]

This is Plein Air Digital from scratch. One layer, one sitting.
I took Marilyn to the Dr's ofc - A new location for him. He was enthralled with the view from his new digs, and commissioned me to do a painting of it. You never know where a commission will come from! I took my pad connected to my laptop, and sat outside the window, and did this in situ.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I posted this for several reasons - First, I was pleased with the image. I also wanted to show what is possible with digital - We don't have to be stuck at a desktop. And I am an advocate of stretrching boundaries. I make $$ with my art, and since going almost total digital, have had no adverse reaction. People who buy my prints usually don't understand, nor care about the process - just the result. So - Get out, Create, Make $$

Dear Skylar, had to look twice!!! thought for sure i saw a canoe go byor a dragonfly skim across;), what a great effect and view, beautiful,!:)

Very nice painting. A question -- how do you prepare for framing? What type of a print to you get?

[barnburner]

A wonderful painting Skylar. :)

[Juz]

Just love how much depth this piece has and the foreground shadows are amazing :):)

[L Skylar Brown]

Lee, Mike BB, Juz - Thank you all for the great feed-back.

What you've captured so well is the freshness of the scene, like an old-world artists sat at a canvas. I think too often artists labour over a work fine-tuning, and that can produce incredible results but also stiffle the spontanaity of the interpretation of the scene. I like the zigzags in contrast to Eighty+ as that's exactly what it look like when a fish passes under the surface, and the whole scene has a sense of tranquil life because of it.

Shifty. - Thank you so much When approaching plein air, you have to just go with your first instincts - often the totally correct one, as it turns out.

Everything is beautiful in this painting.

The perfect composition, the different shades of green, the reflections in the water, the trees framing the landscape ... now that solitary tree, with a perfect volume and tone, and its shadow is exquisite:eek:.

Congratulations Skylar, one of your best paintings, in my opinion.

[saddy]

Very awesome. :D I see you haven't lost your touch while I was away. ;)

[kenmo]

Always look forward to your paintings and this one does not dissappoint...

I know he was pleased, and what a view!

Well, we had our meeting, and I'm happy to say the doctor was thrilled. I am now having two large giclee prints on canvas made for him. One for his office, and one for the New Home he is building north of the city.
