House of Refuge Beach, rocky shore

"House of Refuge Beach"

Created this painting from photos I took at the paint-out a couple of weeks ago. It was stormy and windy in the morning when we got there, and by the time we were leaving it all cleared up! This was the scene I originally wanted to paint.  The little bird in the rocks was running up and down the the rocks searching for lunch!

The lookout tower and the House of Refuge museum is located to the left of this area. 

Enjoy!

Shore of Refuge, plein aire painting



"Shore of Refuge"

Got to go out on a paint-out last week.  It was windy and cold, so we painted under a pavilion on the inter coastal side (at the House of Refuge) instead of the actual beach.  Tried to capture the feeling of stormy weather, with the sun breaking through.  By the time I finished up, the sun came out and it was absolutely beautiful! I have one in progress from the photos I took on the ocean side of this area.  It looks like completely different days!

Enjoy!

Waiting Orders, guardian angel

"Waiting Orders"

Painted this angel with a brush instead of a palette knife this time.  Wanted a softer look.  Love the color scheme.

I wanted him to look like he was finished with one assignment and waiting for the next.  I have always thought that I must have some very serious warrior angels looking out for me! 

This small painting is done on cradled hardboard, the sides are painted, so framing is optional.

Enjoy!

Mama Bear, Florida black bear with cubs







"Mama Bear"
Drew this idea many times on sketch paper, then drew it on the canvas.  After two years of changing my mind, re-arranging/adjusting, and working on it off and on, I finally finished it! 

Enjoy!
