Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
Winter Fishermen trundle home, off of the frozen lake. Why are they all bundled up? The gear protects them from the wind and cold temperatures when outside in Minnesota winters. Supplies, portable fish houses and fresh-caught fish are stored on the sleds being pulled. Because the sun gives no warmth at this time of the day, the mufflers get moist and covered with frost. The figures are out-lined from the strong sunlight at the end of day behind them and do cast long shadows on the snow in front of them. Complementary colors of orange and degrees of blue and darks, really make this watercolor painting sing.

Thank you, Helena. Is surprising what you would do to get a good photo - even if it is cold outside and you get only the walking minute..

So I live in Minnesota.... and the first snowfall this year, 10/21-22/2020 just dropped a foot of snow and now more is coming. So the fishermen you see here - will soon be visiting the lakes, after they freeze over. I captured this photo and the sky last year and it was a glorious sunset to view! L/f

Kathy Braud replied:
To share further.... I had already made #1, a lighter version.... and then I thought the strong light & color at the end of the day seemed a great way to send the fishermen home, YES!

Thank you, Brian, for sharing your thoughts about this image. I am happy and appreciate your visit. I was up close to it yesterday and matting it just right for the exhibition.

I just received news that this painting was chosen for inclusion into the 2020 NorthStar Watercolor Society National Exhibition this fall.. it Is fun to have a goal... and this painting was showing me getting my family home after a long cold day on the lake ice! I really don't remember if we had any fish to eat at all from this foray.
