I decided to play with paint for a change. I have a postcard of Joseph Mallord William Turner’s painting, The ‘Fighting Téméraire’; I love the colors. What’s interesting is that there are many images of this painting on the web that render the color in vastly different ways: some are paler, some darker and more foreboding. This one most closely resembles my postcard. My rendition certainly doesn’t hold a candle to the original classic, but it was fun to do, and I’m mostly pleased with the result.


Beautiful! I love the colors in the sunset~!
Yummy colors and a nice liquid sunset…love it!
That does look amazing and I am very happy that you had fun with it. 🙂 I love the colours and the texture, it is very rich and gives it that real genuine depth.
Happy Creative Every Day Month. (For today Mine can be found on Flickr-http://www.flickr.com/photos/34014572@N04/4098533680/)
I love the colors. The purple against the yellow is stunning.
Are you going to have it reproduced as postcards?
