"Twilight on the Lagoon"

©2008 D.M. Le Bris

In March 2000 I traveled to French Polynesia.
Bora Bora's lagoon is still on my mind.
I remember the magnificent skies at twilight.
They were like a "painting a day".
I tried to capture the skies' colors in this piece.

Acrylic on watercolor paper.
I used a brush and a palette knife to add more texture.

"Turmoil on the lagoon"

©2008 D.M. Le Bris

I wanted to create a lively image of a lagoon....fast racing clouds, agitated water. I used a lot of texture with mixed media on watercolor paper. Lately I have tried to be more spontaneous with my daily paintings.
