NOVA SCOTIA PAINTOUT


Peggy's Point (5X11 graphite sketch)
This is my entry to Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout. I really like this old boat located at 152 Peggys Point, Nova Scotia. I wanted to do an oil painting at this location but thought there were too many small details which I could not see how to simplify while keeping the character of the old boat. I am working on a painting just a few yards from this location, and will post it on my PAINTING IN OILS Blog site.

    This is a great drawing Phil. The graphite really does the textures justice - giving it that old weathered wood look.
