So here is a painting I created last week from a phone photo and a site watercolor I did in June with my friend and traveling workshop guru, Mike Rooney. We headed "Down East" to a small fishing village called Atlantic, which sits on the Core Sound at the very end of Highway 70, in Carteret County. It is a treasure trove of abandoned fish houses, and its small harbor houses a fantastic array of wooden fishing vessels. I managed to do 3 watercolors on this particular day, and decided to do a 16x20" oil of this blue gem. I had to eliminate the building to the right in order to get a good slice of the Core Sound behind the structure.
