I saw Michael Kenna's photograph Yunoshima Island, Asamushi, Honshu, Japan, 2002 at the NCMA on Friday and was blown away by the spectacular composition: the subtle water against the bold island with the tiny detail of the structure on the shore.
It seemed like the elements might work as a painting and I tried it on an old 10 x 10 canvas. It is also a color study. I still have a lot of practice to do if I want to get used to oils.
