Headed Home, Impressionism, Landscape, Daily painting


Title: "Headed Home"
Size: 8 x 10 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Ampersand gessobord
SOLD

This started from a photo I took out at the Adams Ranch in Fort Pierce, FL. But I rearranged the trees, and changed the colors. Now it is really just a place in my mind. It is a parable for the end of the day representing the end of life on earth, and the journey home. The two palms represent the gateway. I will probably add a little more to the trees in the background, I think they need just a touch of highlights.

Breakfast, Realistic Impressionism, Landscape




Title: "Breakfast"
Size: 8 x 10 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Ampersand gessobord
Sold


This is down at the boat ramp. Lake Okeechobee is low, so I was able to walk way out to the end of the channel. Took some good photos of all kinds of wildlife. Seems like early in the morning is the best time to catch everyone at the lake. Before the boats run them off.

Down Stream, Daily Painting,Impressionism, Landscape




"Down Stream"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

Sold


This started out to be a landscape with very little water. I was using only the secondary colors (a triad color scheme) to begin with. But as I got farther away from the original idea I turned the painting up-side-down; the loose brush work just looked more like water than trees! So I began to play around with more intense contrast and more detail above the water and added water lines to break up the reflections further. I also added extra colors and let the painting take its course. I love the abstract look of the reflections against the realistic foliage.

Up The Creek, Impressionism, Daily Painting



Title: "Up the Creek"
Size: 9 x 12 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Ampersand gessobord

Sold

This was created from one of my photos of Taylor Creek.
I love the reflections and the colors. I keep wanting to turn the painting over! Started to add some birds, tell me what you think. I think it may take away from the reflection, which is the main point of the painting. But I could add them, or one just in the reflection, that sounds cool. Ran out of time today, we went fishing. Perfect day.

9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on Ampersand gessobord

Brahmas used to be the main type of cattle around here. They are hearty and can withstand the hot weather. some of the cows will eat the oranges that fall on the ground, it is funny to watch them wrinkle up their nose and slobber all over the place!

Never Ending, Daily Painting, Impressionist Seascape


9 x12 inches

Acrylic on archival Ampersand gessobord
Not Available

This is near the bathtub beach in Stuart, Florida. It is one of my favorite beaches because it reminds me of the Pacific islands. (I lived in Hawaii and Guam as a teenager.) Haven't found too many Atlantic beaches with such an interesting rocky shore. I love the shapes in the rocks set against the moving water!
