The Holly Lynn at The Ladle
The Ladle is a landmark island just outside Eastern Harbor and one of my favorite fishing spots. This is another instance where I had to use two photos to create the painting.
Tip of the Day: Painting from Multiple Photos
There are times when I want to paint a particular scene, but with important element(s) added. Here I had a photo of Shipstern Island, a picture I took of this beautiful island near Harrington, Maine (I took it from my lobsterboat). The challenge was, I wanted my boat in the painting. Luckily, I had had my friend Jason take some photos of me in my boat. To create my scene, I picked a suitable photo of my boat, positioned it next to my photo of the island, keeping in mind distances and perspective, and taped them together. Voila: me in my boat, sailing past Shipstern Island.
Painting from this collage, I was able to complete the scene I wanted, as shown below.
This painting, F/V Grammie at Shipstern Island, is oil on 12" x 16" canvasboard, priced at $300, free shipping.
