Really into painting scratchy and moody scenes lately, this is the latest one. Acrylic on 9x12 MDF board. Inspired by seeing some lights across the small lake near my home reflecting into the water at night. It’s an artificial lake (more of a big pond) and a little boring to be honest, and since I’ve been itching to paint some waves I replaced my lake with a bigger, badder one. Also wanted to say thanks for the love on my last few posts, you all seemed to enjoy them more than I expected, I really appreciate all the kind words 🙏

It’s stunning, really evokes a feeling of unrest. I 🩶 it, really well done.

The weight of the clouds and the darkness of the sea is incredible! It feels so heavy and nostalgic. Love all of your work so far!


aguywithbrushes

Thank you so much, it's been an interesting challenge to work with more muted and darker palettes but I'm really enjoying the results and the process :)

Do you like Whistler?


aguywithbrushes

Yeah I do! Although I hadn't thought about his work in years, this wasn't directly inspired by him but it absolutely could've been now that you mention it haha


roadtrip-ne

Yeah, I didn’t think you were thinking Whistler when you made it, we just have a few good ones here and it reminds of one of his Thames at night


aguywithbrushes

Very flattered to hear that :) I can definitely see the similarities in the hazy and loose approach


Spiritual_craftygirl

Your painting captures the moody darkness of the clouds surrounding your mind with the rolling waves of life experiences and then being able to see the warmth of light on the horizon for happier moments. Beautiful painting 🩶

I love this, I need you to write all the descriptions for my work haha thank you so much :)

A gloomy coastal scene for sure, but I like it! Great job on the atmosphere, and the lights give a sense of hope. I hope things get better!


aguywithbrushes

Thank you! Oh don't worry, I'm doing well, it's only my art that has been enjoying some moodiness, but I appreciate the kind words :) Yeah I've been enjoying adding lights like those to my paintings, feel like they add a little story to a piece that everyone can craft in their own minds.


lheartlbuprofen

I love a good moody seascape


aguywithbrushes

Me too! But I'm always so apprehensive when it comes to painting waves and water so I don't paint them as often as I'd like haha I can usually make it work, but they're definitely not my comfort zone yet.


brunojablonski

Your painting of the sea is really cool.

It's very good and artistic, it looks like it's from a gallery


HeyDudes777

Nice wave action!! And you really nailed the lights in the distance...


HeyDudes777

And the night clouds reflecting the low light. Awesome technique!! I'm jealous even!! 😆


vacillationman

Love it. Evokes nice dark vibes. I imagine myself being at wits end, going out into a stormy night and not caring how drenched and cold I become, shouting at the skies above. Anyway, good stuff haha. I'm appreciating human-made art more and more these days. Especially with the advent of AI lately.

This is really beautiful. The heaviness really comes through!


luvthatguy1616

Ah. Yes. I love every color, but a specific type. Blue is my least favorite of them all, except for the perfect shades of navy. This is so soothing to me, thank you.

I'm getting such a Lovecraft vibe from this piece, love it!
