Dusk Over The Pond

ALL NEW PIECES DONE ON THE EAST AND WEST COASTS. The first three were recently created on a remote private place, Creighton Island, off the coast of Georgia. Eleven painters spent a week creating works uninterrupted. No roads, no other people and only two hours of electricity each day. A wonderful, untouched landscape to enjoy painting.

Cows grazing in one of the small island areas for them to eat. The island is only 1 by 2 miles and heavily wooded.

This painting created on this island: a tiny morning piece glowing in the sun. The mist was wonderful to capture.

Turning to the West coast, this was painted along the coast off Carmel. Enchanting marsh and inlet at sunrise.

Me painting in the blowing wind on Creighton Island; note the palm. But it was worth it. The piece I am working on is not yet framed. You will see it here soon!

ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE LOCATIONS in a small town. This pond is loaded with interesting grasses and water lilies. It always sparkles in the sunlight, even near sunset.

Painting the Landscape - Indoors

LAST EVENING I participated in a church-wide event with over fifty business-to-business vendors, ranging from dentistry to photography. I had a free space to feature original paintings, but also delighted to paint live, front and center in the vast room. I had to use one of my photos to paint from as the lighting was low (and no trees or streams exist in a late-night conference :) Here is a pic of me starting the painting. And following...

Just an hour and a half later, a nearly completed painting. It will be available for sale online soon after a few minor adjustments for color and sign it off.

Coming next...my trip to Creighton Island of last week. So many grand photos and paintings coming...stay tuned.
