Swimming For Sticks

 

6x6
Acrylic on Gessobord

I just finished this painting after many days of tweaking.  I hate that little voice in my head that keeps telling me "It's not good enough".  Do any of you other artists have that?  It really drives me crazy!  Anyway, as for this painting, I was so excited to paint the water!  I used a reference photo I took this past summer while playing on the beach in Gig Harbor.  The water was absolutely pristine (see photo below- you'll laugh because I changed so many details)!!!  I had a hard time finding a happy medium between color balance, pattern of sight, and simplicity.  I think I finally got it.  I hope you enjoy it!
