"A Gull and Her Buoys" by Debra Tritt Kreiger


 11"x15" watercolor on 140lb arches paper

This painting has been on my easel for some time. It started with just the lobster buoys (from a photo I took in Cape Cod). I was drawn to all the shapes and colors. As I pondered over the drawing  I realized it needed a living character. I added the seagull. It was a challenge for me, and that is what I needed. I really tested my watercolor skills on this one. I stuck to the traditional watercolor painting technique and used no white paint. this project has taught me to have patience, and to know things will eventually work out. I also have a wonderfully talented son who I can call to help critique. I'm pretty happy with the results. Looking forward to spring and summer.
