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!

Windjammer - Haiku Watercolor Painting

Conversing with a fellow artist recently caused me to revisit one of my favorite little watercolor paintings, “Windjammer" 4” x 5”, shown here from my Haiku/Haiga, mini, seascape painting series. (Inspired from my Myrtle Beach Watercolor sketches and haiku poetry reading.)

In short, a distillation/elimination of unnecessary detail. Less is more. Enabling the viewer to contemplate, and add accordingly - "and complete them in the mind's eye."

I’ll be heading back there later this summer to rest and sketch, once I finish two other commissions. (Check more out on my Instagram @timothywyoung)
