This is Week #7 (called “Boathouses”) of “Travels Near & Far” — a mini painting challenge at Acrylic University, and the artist is Dianna Shyne who also took the reference photo used. As with the week #1 work, the photo is of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

This was painted on a 6×6 canvas panel, and the swirly brushstrokes in green — meant to represent grass! — remind me of some of Van Gogh’s swirly painting (but not in good way, ha-ha!) To the right is supposed to be a boat, but since I painted it in the same colors as the water, it now appears “lost” or, rather, more like a bridge.

The thing is, I’m so focused on painting other things, I don’t care enough to paint it in, say, black and white so that it appears as a boat.
