MARSH SHADOW

MARSH SHADOW
40x30
35x30

Commissions are brutal. It seems people have an image in their mind of what they want to see but the problem is the painter can't see that same image. Here are 2 paintings of the commissioned view. Which would YOU choose? 

Mark your calendar:
Sunday MAY 19 1-4 PM
OPEN STUDIO in the old NORTH STREET STUDIO space.
Be there in the Square

  1. i would like to know which one they chose! i like them both but i would pick the top one because it makes you feel as if you are standing on the 'balcony' looking out at the landscape. i love the unusual composition . . .

  5. These are both so beautiful, Page. I do not know how your patron will choose just one! I am partial to the bottom painting. I'm drawn to the cool blue in the background that suggests the ocean, and the dramatic darks in the foreground. Absolutely gorgeous!

  7. I like the second one as I am led into the expansive "view" whereas the first one seems to hold me in the corner of the deck, with the tress and deck making a tight focal point. But I like the tension in that too!!!
