Artist Sherri Aldawood paints a fleet of wooden boats docking by a harbor. She aptly plays with depth in limited painterly strokes. Sherri brings more detail to the foreground for a clearer focus and gauges the distance affected by the atmosphere and sunlight. The maritime seascape, painted in dark blue exudes both a composed and easygoing ambience.
About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.
