Last summer, my wife and I stayed along the Maine coast at an inn with a dramatic ocean view setting. This inn has a wrap around porch which attracts visitors with it's panoramic view of evergreens, ocean and sky.
This painting is inspired from that experience. Originally, It started out as a quick little study. However, this little watercolor has grown on me.
I changed the shape and color of the tree masses on both sides of the water. Now that they are evergreens, to me, they seem more appropriate for the setting. By painting them this dark green, somewhat by chance, made the yellow of the grasses in the foreground really pop out.
This combination of dark greens with yellows is quite pleasing to the eye. Although I did not intend on painting a postcard of Maine I can see why this color combination would have such a strong regional association.
