And Yet Another Version

Waiting to Sail, Oil 11" x 14"
I had a request for this painting and so I used the same composition as the original but different boats and colors. I like the final outcome!
Mother's Day was wonderful as I was able to spend to brunch with my family - so nice to be with my mom. Then my husband and boys cooked me a fantastic dinner. I also managed to sneak in about three hours of gardening ... so it was wonderful!

    Thanks Irit! I know I keep painting this composition and it is probably time to move on ... but couldn't resist!

    Very interesting how your palette changes the painting! I really like your pinks and greens in this one, though I liked the others, too. Fun to play around with color!

    I'am very new at this 'twitter' stuff and this is my 1st comment to anyone but I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed your site and your paintings. I love the wonderful, bright colors you choose to use in all of your paintings. You appear to be a very happy, cheerful person! Also, I used to live in Azusa and love Pasadena & the San Gabriel Mtns. etc. Sure miss those years! Will be following your career in the future!

    Hi Leslie! Another incredible artwork - you seem to excell in water themes ... and everything else you put your hand to.

    Another kickass painting Leslie. You are without a doubt a palette knife master! You seem to have things planned out pretty thoroughly before you start. I'll bet your home is in tip-top shape too! So inspiring!

    Ooooh love this one too. I always love the color combos you have, the pure color and strong strokes. I am glad you had a good mother's day!
