Original Watercolor painting from my kayak on the Rideau River, Canada

in #art4 years ago (edited)

We had a beautiful sunny day here on the Rideau River yesterday so I headed out on the water in my kayak with my watercolours and oil paints hoping I could find a nice quiet place to paint. It is getting difficult to sit and paint in the kayak these days since there are so many new boats and jet skis on the water ... making big rolling waves.

So I paddled until I found a nice quiet bay where I could park the front end in some cat tails and reeds and made a little painting.

Here is my set up on the boat ... Painted with river water.

I really like the simplicity of painting, and that it transmits so much. Surely there was a lot of tranquility in that lake, it looks very nice.

Thanks. Yes .... and fewer flies out on the water to buzz me while I paint.

Veru nice work. I love the way you made the sky. Looks like cloud is moving.

It was.... I had to paint very very fast. The sky kept changing as there was a good breeze.

Oh really? In that case, it will be very confusing.

Or it ends up looking like the clouds are moving ....

Hey, good to see some watercolors from you! Must have been quite an experience painting on a boat. Good one :)

This is how I usually paint. I have thousands of paintings from my kayak. Watercolours, oils, acrylics .... But I can’t share any of them here since I did not take process photos.

Sorry about that ..... I’m trying not to post so much.

Why so?

I am not allowed to post more than once a day on Hive.

Are you sure? Coz, I do see people making multiple posts in a day 🤔

Several whales have advised me. “Do not post more than once a day. For your own good do not post more than once a day. “ So I must obey

I see. I wasn’t aware of that at all. Not that it changes anything for me lol.
Thanks for the info tho :)

If I have the urge or need to post more than once a day I just post on Instagram or Twitter or someplace else.

Hahah yes, that's always there!

@aishwarya Anyone on Hive is welcome to make more than 1 post a day. Feel free to make more than one should you feel like it.

@offfridlife That's just a misconception. People are free to use downvotes if they want to. Not sure why you got downvoted but that doesn't imply one cannot make more than 1 post a day on hive or existence some unspoken rule to that effect. :)

@firepower Alright, thank you!

Definitely. Everyone else is allowed to post more than once a day.... except me.

hahah

I get always get into trouble posting too much on Hive. I am so passionate about this place ... I have to divert and re channel my passions Into other projects.

very nice picture

Thank you very much.
