New Maritime Paintings
/In this winter's studio paintings, Brad’s focus is on capturing the energy of the scene, whether it be shimmering light or moving water, rather than on the technical details that are common in maritime realism.
Painting fishing schooners and sailing vessels can require pain-staking attention to the details. In Brad's latest maritime paintings, the natural brushstrokes took precedence to the intense rigidity of structure. In addition to capturing movement, the artist considered the overall tone of each setting, limiting color choices to simplify the mood and lay bare the emotion of the scene.
