Hamilton Cove III

Aluminum Monotype on Paper
5"x7"
This print is from a sketch done this past summer while on vacation in northern Maine.
The rocks, water and sky all work very well but I am unhappy with the placement of the main group of trees. There is not enough variation in this grouping and they seem static to me.

This feels a lot like a woodcut. The quality of the line, I think, evokes this.
It also, compositionally, remindsme of Rockwell Kent.
Clarkelane, this is very funny as I was inspired to look at Rockwell Kent during my last packet period and just recieved the "Complete Prints of Rockwell Kent" via inter-library loan yesterday.
I will have a lot to say about the wonderful Mr. Kent in my 4th packet. But for this space I would like to say that I was underwhelmed by the "Complete Etchings of Rembrandt" and was blown-away by just my first look at Kents prints. I had only really seen his paintings in the past and highly recomend that everyone look at his graphic work.
It is truely astounding.
Thanks, P
