Boats at Hvar

"Boats at Hvar"
6" x 6" on canvas panel.
Sold.

It seems as if I have been on the road forever ... but I am pleased to say that we are now home for a long time! Our oldest is all "tucked away" at college and now I am back in my studio!
One of my favorite stops on our cruise was in Hvar, Croatia. It is truly a beautiful spot and I took hundreds of pictures of boats. The water was so blue and clear so we took a small boat ride around the many outside islands. Enjoy!

  1. Leslie, this is a gorgeous painting. I love the application of paint, too.

    Congrats on getting a kiddo off to school. It is wrenching, isn't it?

  6. What a lovely painting! I am really thrilled by the minimal number of strokes you have here. In addition to being a beautiful painting, with such a sense of gentleness, a quiet, sunny day on the water, the decisiveness of your painting is really impressive. I've been using a palette knife for a few months now, and while I love it, I am still learning to use it well - I can learn from you, I see!
