Gillis Island Pool, Margaree river

I try to paint somethng every day, and Olly's Inspiration Challenge has me going back to photos from our fall fishing trip to Nova Scotia for a picture of yet another beautiful day on the river. I may do one or two more, but then I promise I'll move on. I left my wife out of the finished painting.


This is painted on an interesting paper, a 140lb cold pressed Indigo Art Paper. If you look carefully you can see it looks like a laid paper, and I like the way it takes the granulating paint; very different from the rough Arches and Magnani I usually use.

Thanks Paul, wasn't sure I would post this until I scratched in the fishing line -- which seemed to make it work. I'm pretty sure the clouds are overworked, and sadly the birds are a little clunky. I rarely put them in, and I see now they need a really light touch and a smaller brush..
