ISOLartION – a glimpse through Mel’s studio window
Mel gave us a look at the project she has been working on during lockdown
“Last year, a Norfolk sailing friend of my husband Mark, came for tea. He asked me whether I would paint his boat, a Pegasus 800, with him on it, somewhere on the Norfolk Broads. He is very fond of his boat and has lots of photographs of it but had never had a painting!
He sent me some pictures of him on his boat sailing. I don’t normally paint boats, especially people on boats on a windy day in choppy water, but I have had some time over the past month, being locked down in Norfolk, so I had a go!
Lots of angles, different perspectives, light bits, dark shadows and ropes galore! Anyway, not yet framed and mounted but he likes it!
Phew!”
Inspiration for you
