Goodland

Last week I was on Marco Island and spent a morning on the dock by a restaurant called Marker 8, in the neighboring fishing village of Goodland. I brought gouache and paper I had gessoed and captured a few moments. This is the first one. Haven't painted plein air since last fall, so there was the feeling of "How do I do this, where do I begin!". Eventually I settled down and did the usual, assessing values, finding shapes, mixing the right colors.

  1. Anne, Job well done girl! I know the area you were in very well as a matter of fact my painting titled 'Liberty Thinking' is of me at Goodland. We need to stay in touch! I reworked my blog and I have you on it! Dawn Forte :)

  5. I can't believe you were in Goodland. As soon as I opened this painting, I thought Goodland?
    You did get it!
