A few years ago I took a photo of a fishing boat at a dock in Port Townsend. Yesterday and today I made two paintings of this boat. On my first attempt, I was dissatisfied with the pilings under the dock. They’re just grey, without any local color. My teacher, Eric Wiegardt, has told me twice to add color to my shadows. Also the proportions of the cabin on the boat aren’t quite right. So I decided to paint it again. On the second attempt, I got more color in the shadows and the proportions of the boat are better.
