THE GULF AT SUNSET, 5X7,SOLD




From a photo I took about 12 years ago. The gulf of Mexico as the sun is sinking. I'm not sure how I feel about this one.


I have been in North Carolina for the last two weeks on our annual family vacation. We had lots of fun and laughs, but I am anxious now to get back to my regular routine as I have not painted since I left home. I have lots of photos that I want to paint.

FRUIT COCKTAIL, 16X20, OIL

A break from all the abstract weird stuff I have been posting. This is an oil I painted last year when I was all about fruit. I positioned the fruit on my dining room glass top table, in front of a window. I found it to be interesting and fun and completed it alla prima. In fact, just looking at this post is making me think a nice still life would be fun!

SUNRISE ON THE ATLANTIC, 20X24, OIL

Purchase here
595

A few weeks ago I posted a 5x7 version of this scene. It turned out very well, sold, and I was encouraged to do a larger version. This is the 20x24" version.

The beauty of the ocean is timeless and ever changing.  In this scene, I tried to re-create that wonderful moment when the sun first breaks over the horizon.  Everything is calm, the waves, the wind, the birds, and the sky bursts with pastel color.
