Cabarete Beach, D.R.In 2007, my wife and I traveled to the Dominican Republic for a goddaughter’s wedding. We stayed at Cabarete Beach and walked from the eastern point (the painting with the boat and white hotel), to the western tip (the wider landscape with the houses). The scene without buildings shows a rock breakwater with shallow, still water in the foreground. All three of these paintings have a rust-colored undercoat, and they were each painted rather quickly using my projector process. Most of the colors were mixed on the pallet and applied rapidly while the image shone and the room was dimly lit. This technique means that I can’t really tell how the colors look while they are being put on the canvas. Later, in a fully-lit studio, I added more colors, highlights, and shadows; but, still with short, quick strokes. |
