This is another sketch I painted in Queenstown Creek on the Fourth of July. I didn't like the boat that was anchored in front of the marshes, so I painted my own boat in!

A general comment, Suzanne talks about making lansdscapes less "flat" by trying to incorporate natural lighting. Tom
I believe that this painting is suffering from several things. I painted it quickly with my crummy old dried out watercolors, so I got no real darks. I think the photo is slightly washed out, too. And I painted a Triton by memory... I was out in the natural lighting, though! I'm also looking at my PC laptop... if you have a decent Mac, it might look better!
I earned a BFA at Syracuse University and spent a year studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I am now a sailmaker and artist in Annapolis, MD. I race and cruise my three sailboats on the weekends. I enjoy painting landscapes, especially around the Chesapeake Bay. Often I will paint a watercolor sketch on site and then paint a finished oil from it in the studio. I have also been working on pet portraits, still lifes, and figure drawings lately. I also post photos of boat projects, sailing, traveling, and my life on this blog.
