Early Joy, sunrise seascape, inspirational art

"Early Joy"

10 x18 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Finished!   I had suggestions to add dolphins and angels..... decided not to add birds this time, as I didn't want to take away from the suggestion of an angel in the light source.

Yellow is symbolic of joy, and orange is warm and inviting.  Pinks and blues are calming and peaceful.  This painting goes out with prayers for emotional healing, restoration, and joy.

Enjoy!

Healed, inspirational art, beach, girl, angel

"Healed"

Started this painting completely from memory. Made it up as I went along.  (Used reference photos of different children to free-hand the girl onto the painting.) 

This is all about inner healing, accepting yourself, forgiving yourself, and letting go of the past.  But, sometimes we have to deal with the issues and do the hard work to get past it, which this painting really did for me as I struggled with my stormy past.

Lots of symbolism:  The shadow of the cross, the face of Jesus in the sand, a dove hidden in the wave near her head (for the Holy Spirit), an angel dancing in the clouds, the heart shape encircling her, and the storm moving away.

Lead Me to the Rock, sunset, rocky shore, seascape

"Lead Me to the Rock"

original demo

(Prints are available with or without scripture)

Did this as a demo during class, we made it up as we went along. Started with titanium white, cadmium yellow and a small amount of naphthol crimson. First we painted the center of the canvas (mixing on the canvas), then added some naphthol crimson with white for the clouds (which needed more yellow mixed in). Used dioxazine purple and ultramarine blue with white for a nice cool contrast. We let it dry and then added a second layer. The black was painted last, it has bits of orange and green mixed in.  This is a great lesson on blending and mixing. Hint: use small amounts of darker stronger colors!

Sunrise Beach, Seascape with palm, demo painting

"Sunrise Beach"

Have done this one as a class demo a couple of times, always love it.  Added the palm tree this time, and more clouds.  My students are encouraged to use more pink or orange if they want a sunset instead of sunrise. Of course it could be either.

Jetty Park, pelican, plein air, seascape

"Jetty Park"

 The inlet is one of my favorite places to paint. This one started as a plein air painting (demo, done on location: see below.) but I also had the privilege to teach one of my students at the same time. When I got home I added the choppy waves and the pelican on the rock right away, because the day was still fresh in my mind.  I didn't want to lose the inspiration. I added more detail to the trees and rocks too.

Got to do a paintout Friday in Fort Pierce with Lori McNamara and some friends of ours:

Fawn's plein air demo in progress

Jenna, hard at work!

Jenna's 2nd plein air painting!

This is only the second time we have painted together, 

 I think she did a great job! 

Thank you Carol, Karen, and Susan for a great time!

Waves, Pacific Ocean, seascape

"Waves"

(original class demo painting)

Created for my adult painting classes.  Added the tree for more interest.  This one came from an art instruction book, only it was a night scene and we did it with daylight colors to brighten it up.

The curve of the wave is a challenge to capture, so sometimes we end up with more rocks and splash than transparent waves!

Sun Down, sunset seascape, knife painting

"Sun Down"

This is an older painting, from my Daily Painting series when I was a member of Dailypainters.com.  (This is when I first started painting with palette knives.)  It is full of strong color and thick textures, which I still love to create. Painting with knives leads to unique mixtures of color, which is fun to experiment with.

Stormy Evening, sunset beach knife painting

"Stormy Evening"
(Am currently accepting orders for custom paintings! 
Can do something similar in a larger size!)

This is an original palette knife painting.  Sometimes I take a break from my serious detailed work and put tons of paint out on the palette. I load the painting up thick using a palette knife instead of a brush to get all kinds of interesting mixtures and texture.  This is very exciting and moves quickly.  When they don't come together with the desired results I scrape all the paint off and try again. In most cases I do them alla prima (all at once), but this time I didn't have time to get it all finished and went back later to add the final details. (Added birds and some of the palm tree with a small brush.)

Refuge Beach Again, seascape, rocky shore,

"Refuge Beach Again"

Been working on this painting for a few months.  It is a take off of "House of Refuge Beach."  It is larger, and has a slightly different view. I worked from a couple of photos I took in the morning as a storm passed by. I was interested in the shadows and highlights on the white foam and in the rocks.  Added the birds for more interest.

Bushes and Beaches, Plein air painting, seascape with sand dunes

"Bushes and Beaches"

Got to do a paint-out a couple of weeks ago! Even though it was extremely hot that morning, it was by far the best plein air (on location) painting  I have done in a long time.  Way too much fun with my friends from Pennsylvania!  Thank goodness for the little pavilion we had for shade and a cooler of ice cold water!

Heaven's Touch, girl riding a horse at sunset on a beach

"Heaven's Touch"

I did this large painting a few years ago, and now I just made it available in print.  It combines many thoughts and memories from many places.   Poured myself into it for a few months. Created entirely from memory!  Love the way it came together.

Here is what I originally wrote about it:

I have been working on this painting off and on for almost a year now. It is all about contrasts and texture, as far as the technical aspects go.

This painting is far reaching too. Emotionally we all have things that need healing. Sometimes a sunrise or a sunset, a cup of coffee with a friend, or a moment of silence can touch us deeper than anything else at that time. This painting combines some of those ideas: dreams I have had, horses I have ridden, and prayers cried out from the depth of my soul in my most turbulent times. Always God reaches out and heals the hurt a little more.

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!

Dolphin Daze, seascape, beach sunrise

"Dolphin Daze"

Just finished this larger composition last week. Have worked on it for over a month. Loved creating all the colors. I especially enjoyed adding the pileus clouds. I have seen them before with rainbow colors looking almost like rings of Saturn, so I added them here for a fantasy effect. I also hid dolphins in the clouds. It is hard to make some of them out on this small screen, but in the prints (and in the original) they show up nicely. 

Enjoy!

Past the Boardwalk, stormy beach scene

"Past the Boardwalk"

Went back and made some corrections to this older painting. The sand had too much texture and too many footprints, which was more realistic, but less pleasing to the eye.  I simplified it and brought the weeds growing down into the path.  I also worked on the clouds.
