Let’s Meet at the Beach

 

Two chairs and an umbrella- all set up for a great day at the beach. I got in the ocean yesterday and even though it was only 55, it felt so invigorating. This painting will remind you of the long days of summer. Take time to do the things you enjoy- time is moving fast!

16x20 painted in oil on a deep gallery wrapped canvas.

Above & Below

 I love looking at things from different perspectives. 8x8 oil painting on a cradled wood panel.

Standing Ready

 So fun to paint these umbrellas at the beach- before the people arrived to open them and spread all their gear underneath. 8x8 on a cradled wood panel, available through my gallery at DailyPaintworks, also at Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI where the whole show of 9 Member Artists can be seen. Since the pandemic- all of our shows are online- it’s been great!

The Red Bucket

 

I love the shapes and colors of umbrellas at the beach- I also love to paint stripes. This painting is 8x8 on a cradled wood panel and can be purchased though my Daily Paintworks gallery. Also can be seen at Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI through June 12, 2022.

Driftwood Beach II

 Driftwood Beach is such a surreal place, so unlike the beaches full of play and umbrellas. Here you must walk carefully, as roots and branches are underfoot. The strange shape of the fallen trees take on human form when you look at them a certain way. A little 6x6 oil on a cradled panel now available in my Daily Paintworks gallery. Just click on the link!

Driftwood Beach I

 

This small painting of a section of Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, GA is a study of blues and tans. As calming as this color palette is, there is something surreal, and otherworldly about this whole place. Due to 200 years of erosion the soil became unable to support the trees, which then fell and decayed over time. Sun-bleached and preserved to walk among, photograph, paint, or just enjoy the uniqueness of this place.

When the Sun Breaks Through

 When the Sun Breaks Through is another beach painting. 8x16 which is that double square format I like quite a lot. The promise of a good day, even though the start of the day is full of clouds. There’s always blue sky somewhere…wait for it. Headed to Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI for Artist Members Exhibit Spring 2022. April 30th until June 12th, 2022.
