Panoramic Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Impressionist Seascape, 8x16x.75" Oil

I am trying to break my current addiction to painting flowers, so I dug through my files and found a great image of the ocean.  I have a new (for me) size canvas, 8x16" that I thought would work well for the image.

MY ART ON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

I have to admit, I enjoyed painting this scene.  My choices of subject matter are always based on emotion and on this day......the waves filled my need for action.

Thanks for reading my blog today....If I were in Florida, I'd be off to the beach.

Daily Painting, "Waves", Seascape, 6x8", Oil, SOLD

I enjoy trying to capture the feel of the surf rushing to shore on my canvas.

The ocean seems to have a different character and color each time I visit.  This is the east coast of Florida, while California is much more rugged and has a deep rich blue hue.

I like to use my daily paintings very informally in my home.  Just prop them up where ever the mood strikes! No frame necessary!

Daily Painting Seascape in Oil, 4x12" "Tropical Waters" SOLD

I love to do seascapes, especially with a palette knife, as it allows me to use plenty of texture.  I  like working with the ocean, it seems like a different place minute by minute.

How cool to have all this texture and all these shades of blue, aqua and green.

Being an artist is a good thing....I am very grateful.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Day

Last week we decided that instead of painting indoors at The Guild, we would do a photo shoot, weather permitting.  Well the weather did permit and then some.  We spend a glorious day at Sebastian Inlet State Park.
Sebastian Inlet is a natural wonder just about 10 miles down the road from Melbourne. The park has a fishing pier, a huge tidal pool that is just great for kids, the beach and some of the best waves in the area. Being out there today just reinforces how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area. 
Here are a few shots of our day.  We ended our photo shoot by having lunch at The Sebastian Inn, a great little spot right on the beach.
We missed you Carmen, Cindy and Denette.  We'll just have to do it again.

Sunglow, 8x6 OIl Painting on Canvas

$99, Click to Purchase

Some sunrises are "quieter" than others. This one was very soft, but that's because I just didn't get there in time for the bright reds of early morning. I like the softer side of sunrise too.

"If you want to be reminded of the love of the Lord, just watch the sunrise."

That quotation is from Jeanette Walls, who wrote Glass Castles. Every whiny, demanding child should be made to read Glass Castles, about Ms Walls' childhood, to make them see how good they have it. It's a terrific book and one of those that sticks in my memory. With my memory lately, it takes a really good book to to linger in there for long.

This is a painting of a mood. What is she thinking? Is she lonely? Or does she have the urge to cross that ocean and have an adventure? Maybe she is just thanking God for her blessings.

The beach is so peaceful in the morning, and it is such a good time to catch pelicans fishing for their breakfast. There is a girl who does Tai Chi there in the morning and I'd love to join her, but it seems too intrusive for such a serene discipline. I just can't bring myself to ask her.

One of my latest daily paintings from a trip to the beach last week.  I couldn't pass up her long blond hair and the killer reflections in the water.
