Sunset Beach, 08808

Perhaps it's the fact that it's snowing and 8 degrees outside that makes me paint these beach paintings. I think this painting captures that irresistable scene of the sun dipping low into the sea. I wouldn't mind standing on that beach right now. This original oil painting is on 12x12 inch gallery wrap canvas.

Surf, 08708

You KNOW I didn't look out my window for this view since I live over 1000 miles from the nearest coast. This painting was so fun for me to do because most of my landscapes are just that - LANDscapes full of mountains. I tried to capture the power and beauty of a single wave. I can almost hear the roar.

Sea Walk, 05908

My daughter and her husband live in Cronulla, NSW, Australia. They sent me some lovely photos of the ocean taken on a morning stroll near their home.

This original oil painting is on 0.75 inch gallery wrap canvas with the sides painted. Framing is not necessary.

Surf 'n Sand, unmounted

OK, I'm continuing with the surf and sand theme. I've completed six. They are various sizes with the largest two being 4x12. I'm going to mount them on sand colored board (not white as in the previous photo), and then mount that on black. I've got the boards cut, but I'm using a flat, black spray paint for the black board, and it's too cold (18 degrees and snowing) for me to spray right now.

It should be interesting to see how these turn out. The colors I used are yellow ochre, burnt umber, turquoise green, ultramarine blue, anthaquinone blue, and a tiny touch of cadmium red, all Liquitex or Golden brands. The white is the canvas showing through where I drizzled some polymer medium on before I painted.

Surf 1, 4x12 acrylic abstract of surf and sand

This might be the first of a series. My intent is to suggest the edge of the ocean as it laps against the beach, not a literal interpretation. Materials used are fine pumice gel. fluid polymer medium, and professional artist grade acrylic paint on gatorfoam.

I prefer it in a vertical position, but it posts better horizonatlly.
