Take me with you

Take me with you, 6" x 6" oil on 1/8 panel, SOLD
I am pretty fascinated with patterns of the tide.  When i was a kid,  our summer days were spent "out on the tide" as we called it building boats, castles out of sand and sitting in our creations just as the tide swirled around, collapsing our sand masterpieces.

Bluffs, Crimson

Bluffs, Crimson, 30" x 36" acrylic and oil on canvas
This painting is one that i did last year and just recently put in on my wall in the dining room.  Its one that i like parts of but wasnt quite "working".  I finally figured out that i needed to work on the middle/forground area.    Sometimes by studying a painting too studiously its hard to solve a problem, while just casually glancing without trying..the answer just reveals itself.  (works great if you dont have a deadline) ha ha

Sky

I am ever interested in sea and sky.  So i go back and forth on this theme.  Watching the interactions..and what affects what..Its kind of funny to paint such a huge subject matter on such a tiny format.

This is a slightly larger version of yesterdays,  working up in size!  My studio is beginning to feel a santas workshop..little mini paintings everywhere!

"Tidal Study"

Tidal Study, 12" x 12" oil on canvas
Hmm..truly i am enamored with the colours and goings on in the shifts in tides.  This is a piece I did in October, thought I would get caught up with my postings..this has been a big move and havent done much in the way of painting.  Though today I finished painting my studio..ready to get to work!
