BRASS BOWL WITH PEAR AND FLOWERS

11 X 14 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS SOLD

LITTLE GIRL WITH A BIG FLOPPY HAT

10 X 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS SOLD

I used more grays, warm against cool in this figurative beach study. The use of more muted color is quiet a contrast to the previous painting, where I painted with more intense color.

DARK SKINNED LITTLE BEAUTY AT THE BEACH

10 X 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

This cute little girl was enjoying  a beautiful September day at the beach. I am enjoying the slightly cooler weather here on the Alabama Gulf Coast, too.

I used  a loaded brush and a palette knife to apply the oils thickly on this figurative painting..

If you have good photos of your kids involved in their play, I can be commissioned to do a casual impressionistic portrait painting for you.

The 8 x 10s start at around $400..  Great gifts for Christmas if you hurry!

  have here.

BOATS WITH GLOWING SUNSET

8 X 10 OIL ON CANVAS SOLD

I usually avoid painting oranges especially with its blue compliment but in this seascape, the colors work well on the shimmering sunset waters.  I placed colors of equal value next to each other to capture that luminescence.  .

BEACH BUDDIES

11 X 14 OIL ON CANVAS

This impressionistic figurative painting is a typical Gulf Shores beach scene.

The beach has been packed all summer with vacationers. Although I like going to the beach to make photos for my paintings, I can't wait for the quieter fall season when the breezes are cooler and the beach is serene.

If you are interested in taking a workshop, I have one scheduled next month.  Check out the schedule in the top right hand corner of  my blog.

PROTHONOTARY WARBLER

8 X 10 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

I photographed several colorful birds at the spring bird-banding  on Fort Morgan peninsula last week.

These birds just completed migration from the tropics, about a 40 hour flight.  Fort Morgan is one of their first land stops in the States.   I have no idea how this really yellow warbler got the name prothonotary....what does that mean anyway??

More birds to come.

Also, I was really excited to find that one of my paintings was accepted for the 2013 Oil Painter of America  Salon Exhibition.   I am honored!
