| Westport Cove - Color Study Final |
The waterfront at Westport was one of my favorite spots for scenery in Ireland and we visited three times. I chose a scene with this rustic boathouse on an beautiful inlet. I later learned that what Motif #1 is to Rockport, MA, this painting scene is to Westport Harbor. I got down in the mucky low tide to capture the scene I wanted. The boathouse was stunning, especially its red roof, but the decrepit turquoise boat in the foreground was my favorite element. It's great when an element is so decayed that a rough stroke with a palette knife is just the thing that makes it come alive.
