Favorable Winds - Myrtle Beach (Haiku Watercolor)

Priming for a beach visit next month, re-posted another favorite of mine, “Favorable Winds - Myrtle Beach" watercolor, 4” x 5". From my Haiku/Haiga, mini seascape painting series. As mentioned before, a distillation of form and shape, eliminating unnecessary detail. Less is more. Enabling the viewer to contemplate, and add accordingly - "and complete them in the mind's eye."
This idea was triggered by reading haiku poetry and then sketching images of the words. Then I thought, I’ll apply part of the haiku poem formula to my beach sketches, starting with three lines, and then editing visually.
Now back to finishing this other commission before I can go!
