GRAMMA

GRAMMA, 8x10" oil, ©Diane Mannion

Nanatuck, Port Clyde, Maine Part 7

One of my favorite paintings from Port Clyde!  Early morning about 6:30am, found parking space near docks!  This dinghy was right in front of my car and I painted it from that spot.  The colors!  Unfortunately, I had left my thalo blues home, but touched it up later.  And the dinghy's name!  GRAMMA... love it!

Did have a little problem drawing though.  Kept lining it up with the piling and thought I was  standing in the wrong spot before I realized the entire dock was moving.  Floating dock!  As if drawing boats wasn't difficult enough.

While I was painting, a man rowed his dinghy to shore from his sailboat, which was
anchored out in the harbor.  His gorgeous yellow lab jumped in and out of the dinghy fetching a plastic bottle and finally ran up the boat ramp, catching up with his owner.   Great dog!
