"A Favorite Walk," Celebration Series 11/25 - IN EARLY PROGRESS
This is my 11th Celebration Series painting in very early stages. It is 12" x 6" x 5/8", gallery wrapped and being painted along the side edges continuing the scene so it can be displayed different ways: unframed on a small easel, propped on a mantel, framed traditionally or framed in a "floater" frame, which enables the sides to be seen.
It's on the Delaware Coast, but can you guess where? During the beach season, it is one of Delaware's most popular beaches. More will be revealed as it's developed over coming weeks.
I lightened it up, brightened the sky and added a tint along the horizon, which you can see in real life if you study the sky.
I'm enjoying doing this series of celebration paintings. There will only be 25 in the series, and they're taking a bit more time than I imagined when I came up with the idea for them, so they will debut throughout a one-year period. I'm using the same glazing methods and detail as my larger studio paintings, and it takes time to get each one to feel "right." I hope you enjoy these little windows into "my world" here near the shore.
To be the first to see and purchase new and in-progress paintings, please consider signing up for my painting alerts at the bottom of this page and choose your area of interest. We do not ever sell or share your information, and we don't inundate people with emails.
Each series painting is signed on the front, then titled and numbered, with the words Ellen Rice Studio & Gallery Celebration Series on the back of the painting's stretcher bars.
These small originals may be picked up in my studio or shipped via fully insured FedEx.
