Haze Over Harpswell
8 in. x 10 in., acrylic on masonite panel
$200 framed
A friend visited friends in Harpswell, Maine in August and took in a concert at the bandstand down by the water. He captured a photo of the hazy afternoon sky, made more intense by wildfire smoke in the atmosphere from Canada. I enjoyed teasing out subtle color and value shifts in the sky and water, quite a feat with acrylic paint, which tends to dry quickly and resist tonal blending. I used no slow-drying medium to extend the workable window of the acrylic with this painting; instead I mixed my tones beforehand, used a soft brush and worked quickly across the sky. This piece is quite soft, serious and peaceful in person. I hope you like it.
