Oil Painting - "Reflecting"

12" x 12" Oil on panel.  Available here. 

I don't believe my last blog post went out to all the emails.  I'm not sure why that happens but every now and then they just don't get delivered.  This is a painting of one of my sons that I painted this fall.   I took the photo in February while down in Mexico.   He was in an underground cave with water and the cave was lighted so there was a nice glow and sparkle in the water.   I'm really pleased with this painting.  Doing more paintings with people in them is high on my list.  

Let's Take a Look Around

8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel. SOLD

     I never expected to be away form this blog for so long.    I have been painting a quite a lot so I have several new paintings to share.    Here is the one of them.  

Best Friends

                     

8" x 8" Oil on canvas panel.   SOLD

This is our neighbor in Humpy Cove with his beloved dog, Harry.  They rowed over in their blue dingy for an afternoon visit.  Mike is a great supporter of my art and often brings his friends over to our gallery on the island.  Harry is a loving,  and elderly golden retriever. 

Old Dock - Seward Harbor

8" x 10"  Oil on panel. SOLD

         This is a plein air painting I painted this October.   A painting is classified as "plein air" when it was painted entirely on site and not in a studio.  This is a very exhilarating way to paint.  The artist has many things to contend with besides just trying to put the right color paint in the right place.  We have weather to contend with, changing light (as the sun moves), people passing by,  coordination of all we need on site and just trying to get it done in a timely way.  

          I painted this form behind the Holiday Inn Express hotel which overlooks our harbor.  There is a lower dock area, sheltered form the wind, and I was able to stand there for this view.

8"x 10" Oil on Canvas.    This painting was really fun for me to paint.  I enjoyed the water, the colors and the  movement.  This little row boat gets a lot of action during the summer months out at our cabins in Humpy Cove.
