Painting at the Coast

A quick trip to the coast for an art show. Overall, a good couple of days. The Art Show was being held on a different date then previous years, and could have used a bit more promotion and advertising. So while Theresa was manning the booth, I took my easel and canvases down a block to the waterfront to paint. 

Being just downright hot, I set up in the shade under some live oak trees to paint. After the first painting was finished, I looked around and decided that I liked painting in the shade on 90°+ days. 

Here are the two paintings, both 8 x 10 on canvas.

 One highlight of the trip was where we stayed. In the painting above, if you look just to the right of the bow of the blue boat there are two light strips of paint. These are the canopies covering the deck of the Schooner Russamee, where we spent two nights, anchored out. A good breeze kept it comfortable, except when trying to row the dinghy out to the boat against the wind and tide.

The above painting has been bought by one of my long time collectors, but number two is still available. Both were painted to capture the bright summer day at the coast, and I am happy with them and am ready to go back and paint some more in Beaufort.

Evening Turnout, the first print

Evening Turnout has always been one of my favorite paintings. It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Two horses being led to pasture on a summer evening in Carolina. It was only a minute or so before they had disappeared over the hill.

Now it is the first of my paintings to be available as a print. Each one of these giclees prints on heavy weight paper has been approved and signed by the artist, me. The image size is a full 8 x 10. We are introducing these prints at $19.95 + 3.95 shipping.

Memories of a Summer Evening

Here is a new painting from the Four Seasons series. "Memories of a Summer Evening"

If you are familiar with my work through the Oils and Watercolor Portraits, this at first might seem a bit different, but these paintings have allowed me to combine techniques from both oils and watercolors.
