Fog on Manana
6” x 8”
This one was painted from the cover of the Island Inn porch, overlooking the harbor. Rain and fog prevailed over the filtered sunlight, which gave just enough illumination for the greens of Manana to shine through. The moisture in the air veiled the workboats moored at the end of the day.
"Fog on Manana" is framed in a Taos gray wooden frame with an understated grey/green rubbed finish with a warm reddish umber undertone. It has a Whistler style rich antique gold leaf inner lip with a soft rounded outer edge. The outside frame is a one-piece routed panel, so there is absolutely no separation at the corners. The frame is a 3 1/2" molding, so in the frame, it presents as 13" tall by 15" wide. It's framed as shown, ready to hang, with felt pads to protect the wall. The canvas panel is a Raymar 56MC Medium Cotton, a professional grade double acrylic primed, 100% pure cotton duck canvas with a medium weave with uniform texture. This is my favorite painting surface because the absorbent canvas grabs the paint for an opaque effect yet keeps your brushstroke visible to create a textured landscape. It suits my technique of underpainting warm compliments in oil washes, enhancing the "real" color in the final painting. The archival 1/8" MDF has no added oils, and the back of the board is sealed with gray melamine to prevent warping and deterioration for a clean finish. The paint is Winsor & Newton professional oil colors which are permanent. The painting is varnished and will last for hundreds of years.
