“Pink Sky Over Icy Blue Waters”: Classical Mini-Series Oil a painting a day-by Eco Art Girl

Marsh Art

by Eco Art Girl

Tuesday

I’ll have to say I haven’t been paying attention lately. Distractions. Some are good though like this image I will post as my “daily painting.” It measures a mere 9″ x 11″ on masonite board and is very shiny due to the high linseed content mixed with my oils.

I’ll have to check my horizon line on my image when it finally dries; I believe the photo is a bit distorted due to it is leaning up against the Jullian easel. The pink sky just emerged from my consciousness; it is like the painting is smiling back at me. I hope you feel that way too.

With my “painting-a-day posts,” I switch between the mediums of oil or soft pastel. I prefer oils but they take more time to gather and set-up, which I usually get to late at night, and today it was not until my return from the gym too. Pastels are water based and are easily transportable if you are at the beach.
I paint landscapes and seascapes generally because it is these images that fit my art focus, which is all about the land, treasures– such “AS our natural resources”-like this one, OUR OCEANS.

Environmental wealth can be seen in my focus “ECO ART OF THE CAROLINAS.” Pastel marshscapes and my oil paintings I hope highlight the natural beauty of marsh views, ocean vistas and coastal estuaries that I am able to capture with a photograph, or recall from memory. I hope to raise the local consciousness about the importance of one of the planet’s most critical natural resources: our coastal marshes and the adjoining coastal waters. This series on the wetlands, what I call “ECO ART,” promotes awareness of the dynamics that thrive in these fragile ecosystems. Wetlands provide essential needs to humanity and it is this message I convey on my website and post on my blog: www.roselynnrlistudios.wordpress.com This energy provided by nature propels my art along. These vibrant ecosystems, the area between land and water support life itself- environmental health and humanitarian health are one and the same.
