My friend took this picture of a seaweed harvester in front of her cottage one morning. I love the composition and the mystical blend of ocean and sky.
Harvesting seaweed, is something you don’t see everyday. So, I felt fortunate to have the opportunity to capture this traditional method of gathering in watercolour.
This will be one of three paintings I’ll be exhibiting in the Acadia Universty Art Gallery next week in their annual community show. All that’s left is to frame it and then to choose the other two entries.
I like it a lot – especially the pop of colors of the seaweed and boat. Good luck selecting your other two entries!
Thanks!
Very Nice! I love the misty background and the brighter colors in the foreground and the splash of pure white water coming off of the seaweed. Great job
So glad you like it! Retaining the whites and making it bright while keeping the mist was one of my goals, so thank you for noticing! 😊
Very well done Pamela! Good luck with your next entries!
Thanks Snehal! Pam is a great photographer and a good friend. 😊
Very nice, it should sell, so put a good price on it. I just posted a very similar painting myself. Best of luck.
Thanks, Graham. The gallery gets 30% so I added that on top. Pricing is a tough call when you’re starting out. It feels a little high but if I take 30% off my original price it feels like it wasn’t worth the effort beyond the fun of painting it of course.
Lovely piece of work. Good luck in the gallery.
Thanks, Jackie!
