One among the many transporters from Long Island in New York. At night breezy and comfortable. But it all depends on where you are sitting. On a summer day, enjoy the trip on the top level. You can see Connecticut on the other side. Your car is in good hands. And by the way, the Galley has a good breakfast if you pass by in the morning. Among other currencies as the friendly bartenders. The name comes from the Irish reduced anglicized form of Gaelic fearadhigh, meaning “unknown name.” Most related to the old English verb ferian, “to carry.”  The Ferry.

The location of Port Jefferson is named after our President Thomas Jefferson. They were founded by steamboat companies who built them.  On the other hand, the illegal consumption of alcohol, such as rum, became a problem for the authorities. Production was confiscated from 1921 to 1933. Nowadays is replaced with tourism and business.

Moreover, the winter shows metallic blue on the water. The boardwalk on a snow day cast shadows in various light purple and greens from its surroundings.  Exciting and full of surprises.  The Ferry/Transporter

Further to say, the most complicated part of working on these specific subjects is the water which changes every second. I placed together different fragments into one image. Then enhanced on large to small scales, followed by the first waterfront, poles second, steamboat third, and the sky in the back.

I use the watercolor medium for its open and transparent pigments. It also gives the rigid mechanics a loose and more relaxing style. On the contrary, oil painting is luminous and spontaneous.  The Ferry/Transporter

Then it comes to the details of the water. Decisions must be made to make it work, such as in which direction the waves are moving. Also, its reflection is critical. This last one is what enriches the subject with hue variations.

THE FERRY

The Bay is located on the north shore of Long Island in Huntington, NY. Beautiful place with many subjects to explore.

To begin with, what caught my attention on this subject? Together with it, there were old chairs and decorations on the handrails. And just behind the bay, In the first instance, there was glimmering like a diamond on the water. And the Bay grabbed me into its past and emerged as a dream. In a long not forgotten time. Suddenly I felt familiar and no longer felt alone. I wanted to catch this moment in the sunlight. Then I found stars in sparkling lines. but withal with the visual effect of recreating light within.

Moreover, painting water can be very tedious and thematic. Pattern, combined in layers, and the hues of the color are its core. With persistence and patience, it is approachable. It is exciting to experience sun-changing reflections. Whereas, to understand how it moves, I used zig-zag lines in repetition. Shapes in movement become uncountable. Indeed, the wind commands in which direction should go. What’s more, waves on the bottom, as they move up to the top, they diminish in size. Nonetheless, Every color around this effect has been lower in luminosity.  T

Furthermore, I mixed raw umber with ultramarine and viridian green. The handrail is in the center. Transparent blue enriches the whole panorama. And by mixing it with turpentine and oil. We can see layers behind the others. Additionally, to create a spark effect I lowered back the blue tonality. Then, I let the sunlight go through the other colors. At long last, sitting out there observing this was revitalizing and energetic. And I have just preserved it in this painting for you to enjoy it. Nature and life in its splendor.
