The day after deployment came to an end we walked along Top Sail Beach. The sun was warm, the breeze intense. Forest and his sweet Rachel enjoyed some of their first of many, face to face conversations that until this point, had only been on Facebook and Skype. Just to see that joy on his face with this special girl at last was a joy to behold. The colors of the day were the most beautiful Ultramarine's, Phathlo's, Cobalt, Cobalt Turquoise, Manganese, Anathriquine, and Payne's Grey blues in the sky and waters. Beyond those awesome seascape waters, the sand in the foreground is made up of Course Pumas Gel with a blend of metallic and interference colors. Their bodies are made up of Light molding paste that I stenciled and sculpted, as they walk with their faces locked in conversation. So much to say, as long shadows of Payne's Grey follow them from behind the couples path. I am working on this for an acrylic class that will wind up Saturday.
When I took the photo, a reed was in the lens view. I will end up with that read stretching out across the canvas over many layers of gel and deeper more intense blues.
