©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, Ogunquit River #1. Ink and watercolor, 5 x 7 inches.
This is a small (5 x 7) painting I did from a photo I snapped during my trip to Ogunquit, Maine this past August. This area is a salt marsh where the Ogunquit River meets the ocean. It was really interesting to see how this same scene changed with the tides (it was close to high tide when I took this).  I am thinking of remaking this into a larger (11 x 14ish) painting, although I’m still considering if I want to do it in ink and watercolor or some other medium, like colored pencil. I want the grass areas to look really textural, because that is what originally attracted me to the scene. The grass was long and matted and it looked very soft, although I’m sure up close it was anything but.
I love finding new artists! A reader emailed me a link after I posted On Water and I wanted to share. Amy Arntson paints really beautiful and large watercolor paintings of water. I especially like her painting Dark Water 1.
