Hi Poly. I seem to be posting a lot of grey paintings lately. But the greys you get with oils are so lovely. Doesn't always show in reproduction though

About this Blog
CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW LARGER
This blog is intended as a reference resource for seascape painters (particularly those working in oils) and for art lovers. It's a mix of nautical/maritime art, seascapes and coastal scenes, both old and new. The images are assumed to be in the public domain, and the use of them on this blog could be considered fair use because of its non-profit, educational nature; however, if you are the owner of an image and would like it removed, please advise in a comment to the post. Add comments by clicking on the word 'comments' under a post.
A large proportion of the artists are from the US simply because their work seems to be easier to find on the internet, and perhaps the genre is more popular there, but suggestions of famous painters from other countries (and for the blog in general) are welcome.
Apologies for not providing more links to artist's and gallery websites. If you are interested in seeing more, or purchasing, work by any of the artists on this site, just google their full name in inverted commas, with perhaps the word 'paintings' or 'artist' and it should take you to their site or the site of a gallery representing them.

Hi Jeronimus!
Oh yes, I quite agree with you; grays have such a range of colours and temperatures, which often makes it difficult to photograph them.
Cheers, ~ Polly ~
