Small Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10" Pink Floral Oil Painting, Palette Knife
I wanted to create a soft, soothing floral still life. Painted on .75" deep canvas, with painted sides. Finished with a light spray of varnish to enhance and protect the colors.
I worked with both brush and palette knife, but 90% of it is the knife.
Hope you enjoy it!

Abstract Seascape Oil Painting, Tropical Waters, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14x1.5" SOLD
Continuing on my tropical journey to the Florida Keys. Today's post is my impressions of the sea off the coast of southern Florida.
It is hard to find more fun (in the studio), than to dig into a big pile of paint, with your knife, and just go to town. Adding and subtracting values and hues........puts me in the zone every time.
As much as I love creating all this yummy texture, I can only do it for a few days, before I start to crave a little structure and strong composition. Each day I work on this coral reef series, I get a little less abstract and and little more impressionist.
Join me on my journey.....

Small Seascape with Sunrise Painting, Textured Palette Knife Art, 6x8" Oil Seascape SOLD
Today I am posting one of my favorite subjects, the beach!
In my opinion, one of the best reasons to live in Florida, is to be able to grab a cup of coffee, and head for the beach to see the sunrise.
The beach is usually empty....maybe I will see a lone fisherman. For the most part, only the birds are there to keep you company. It is so serene and calming. The perfect way to start your day. I cannot think of a better way to spend an early morning hour.
I hope you have a wonderful day today!

Abstract Painting, Four Seasons Series - Winter, Small Abstract Oil Paintings, 4x12x.75" Oil on Canvas, SOLD
This is the final installment of my Four Seasons Series, Winter.
With each painting, I tried to capture the feeling, of the season of the year, using only color. It was a fun project to do.
This is not a good picture of "Winter" The actual painting has much more color variation and saturation. Try as I might, I could not get a better image.
Thanks for viewing my art today!

Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Pink Clouds" , 11x14x1.5" Oil
I live close to the sea, and it turns up quite often in my art. Nothing gets me up faster than a fabulous sunrise...grab a cup of coffee and head for the beach, camera in hand.
Yes, I said grab my camera, not my paints. I am a studio painter. I quickly get overwhelmed with plein aire and have no desire to try it again. Give me my air conditioning, plumbing and subject matter that doesn't change.
For years, I felt I was not a "real artist" and hid my shameful secret. Actually, I have so much respect for artists that strap a 36x48" canvas on their back and then hike 7,000 feet to the top of a mountain to paint. Such dedication, and yes, the light cannot be duplicated. But, neither can those special effects you can capture with a camera.
My choices are paint in a studio, or don't paint.....and I am happy with the choice I made. To each his own!
Thanks for reading my rant today :)

Abstract Seascape, Abstract Sunset, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" SOLD
I am always fascinated by sunsets, especiall sunsets over water. This little study is my impressions of a sunset at Fernandina Beach harbor.
Of course, it bares no comparison to the actual photo(or the actual event) I took, but it did provide me with several hours of fun in the studio.
Such a simple piece should not have turned into the project I experienced, but as often happens, it did. I wanted just the right glow of colors.
It seems with me, a painting either falls off my brush or it is a major struggle. The falling off my brush part does not happen nearly as often as the major struggle. After 20+ years of painting, I imagined I would be further down the road. As my kids like to say, "it is what it is".
I try to appease myself by thinking if it were easy, it would be boring. Maybe so, but I could handle just a tad more boring,
Hope you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
