Rainy Laconia Morning

Rainy Laconia Morning

8 in. x 8 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

$200 unframed (no frame necessary)

I see this intersection several times a week. The intersection of Court Street, Union Ave and Main Street come together in a perfectly symmetrical intersection entering or exiting downtown Laconia, New Hampshire. The dueling spires of the courthouse and South Baptist Church stand opposite each other in the middle distance. It was very early on this particular morning in late March. All the snow had melted, and the still-dim sky was darkened further by low, thick clouds and heavy rain.  Headlights, traffic signals, and signs glow brightly, casting skewed and distorted reflections everywhere in the puddles and wet atmosphere.

This painting began as a lovely photo taken by a fellow member of a Facebook interest group to which I belong.  She posted it and it and the row of colorful kayaks caught my eye and I thought, gosh, I'd love to paint that.  I commented on her post and asked her permission, and she graciously granted my request.  I found out this is a very special place on Lake Superior where her family goes every summer: Bay View Campground in Hiawatha National Forest. I painted the underpainting bright magenta to warm up the very cool greens and blues of the trees, sky and water, and to keep the sandy shore glowing and sun-kissed.

This piece originated as a fun little prompt from Instagram's #foodpaintchallenge and I had never painted a fussy china cup like this one.  I really wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it, but it was tremendously fun and I loved every stage of the process, which you can see if you follow me on Insta at @shawnemorrillrandlettart where you'll see some still shots and video of me painting this one.  I looked up this china pattern, because, well, I'm a curious girl.  It's a Royal Albert pattern called American Beauty, with it's lovely large roses and leaves swirled all over it.  I hope you like it!
