Bay Oil Painting on Canvass, "Mobile Bay", 12x16, by Mercedes Franklin. Private Collection.

Mobile Bay is a Big beautiful bay surrounded by homes on one side & the City of Mobile on the other. It is a pretty place to paint, comes in all colors. I find myself using an array of brushes & palette knives between the sky, water & boats w/people. Because of all the colors each painting demands it's own selection of Hues.
