Cecilia Dietrich - Sailing Into Enchanted Heavens, Oil on 60x80cm Canvas, May 2021
Eventually, I finished this piece last year after painting on and off for a year. I could still work on it but it would probably take me ages to paint it exactly as I imagined it to be. There are still parts that don't look quite the way I'd like them to, but it seems to me that if I want to change them, I need to paint all over it again. So, I think I will leave it like this and rather start a new one.
As probably always I could have improved it even more but I think it's important to know when there's done enough work with one painting and better implement the lessons that I've learned during the process within the next painting.
I love the colours. To me they appear really soothing and healing. Also a feeling of freedom arises because the ship could take me anywhere. What do you feel by looking at this painting?
Have a nice day! 💛
Here are two pictures of the painting process. This painting definitely went through various stages. Especially the transition between the sea and clouds was really hard to figure out.
And the final result:
Very beautiful, I can feel a sense of peace while looking at your painting!
Thank you @creativemary for your words and for sharing your impression. I'm happy to hear that you can feel a sense of peace while looking at it. 🌸
I do feel a sense of calmness and tranquility looking at this. That ship is a symbol of endless possibility. I love the color transitions and the forms you have going on. I have had to learn that lesson myself about when to not overwork the art and just apply the lessons on a new piece. Great job and amazing painting. I assure you that you are the only one that knows what is missing or not the way you intended! hahaha
Thank you @castleberry for your kind words and sharing what you're sensing while looking at it. I'm glad to hear that you feel a sense of calmness and tranquility. Those qualities were definitely my intention. I agree with you that the ship is a symbol of endless possibility, so I think there's also a spark of hope in it.
Oh really? An important lesson, right. I'm still learning it but it's getting better.
Haha you're right, I'm the only one who knows. That's good. Haven't thought about it that way. Have a great Sunday! 🌞
It helps take a bit of the pressure off to know that as the artist, you are the only one that sees your vision as far as what the end result should be. You also are the only one that knows what falls short of your own expectation. So, don't let the pressure pour out of you in a way to where you project it onto your audience. That might help let the creativity flow a bit more freely. Take Care!
Very well said. It does help. Thank you a lot for sharing that with me. 🙏
My pleasure.

Thank you so much @japex1226! 😃🌷
Transition came out nice. Sweet!
Thank you very much @orestistrips! I needed several attempts to paint the transition, it wasn't easy. 😄
the water's especially nicely done, although i find the clouds over the water to look very similar to each other, making me loose interest. but the water looks great, and the sun shinning on the clouds and the rest is spot on!
Thank you @gamemapmaker I appreciate your words and you having a look at it. The clouds look similar indeed, I painted them so many times and finally kept it like this. 😄
Buen manejo de la luz , me recuerda a la obra del maestro, MANUEL ALBINO.
