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.)

Dinner Time, Great Egret, bird, wildlife

"Dinner Time"

Just finished up this little demo from a couple of years ago.  Really like the reflections and the contrast.  This one was inspired by Jane Irwin's photography.  She brought it to class for us to paint!

(Some of my demos come right out of instruction books or calendars.  However, I do re-arrange things and change colors)

Splash of Fall, demo painting

"Splash of Fall"

I originally created this as a demonstration painting, but recently added more leaves and details to finish it up. I also strengthened the color contrasts.  I love the movement in the water and the bright colors of the leaves.

For Life, sandhill cranes, wildlife painting

Sandhill cranes mate for life.  The male in this painting is courting the female. The setting is at sunrise to symbolize a new beginning. 

I love these kinds of paintings!  There is so much more to them than just a nice picture.

Had a great time painting these last week!  I set them both up on the easel and did them at the same time!  We were at the George Lestrange Preserve in Fort Pierce.  Don't get too many chances to do paint-outs these days, so I just put everything else aside and went anyway!

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.

Face Time, fawn in the grass close up

"Face Time"

I have worked on this painting for over a year, off and on.  Re-drew him ten times at least! I like to free-hand most of my work, so I tend to do a lot of adjusting instead of just filling in color.  I think it gives me more freedom to exaggerate things or change the perspective as needed. 

This was fun because his eye was so big and gorgeous, I just had to play it up!  And also because I haven't done my namesake in such a long time.
