Tractor at Rest

6 x 12 Oil on Archival Board

I'm not usually drawn to a farm tractor scene, but there was something about the light on this one that caught my interest.  The colors on the original are more subtle.  I tried different lighting about 10 times and this was the most accurate, but still not quite right.  Painting is easy...Photographing the artwork is a challenge.

I caught sight of this woman with her trusty dog when we were out on the boat.  She was working hard paddling, but her dog had time to take in the surroundings and posed for me :-)  This is really just a quick study, but I like it so thought I'd post it.  Just a blip in time in our day.  It came, it passed, and I recorded it in paint.

Continuing on with my beach series, this father and son hit the beach before the crowds.  He had his book and chair, and his son had his toys.  A perfect beach day!

Buckets of Fun

SOLD

Lucy and Cooper once again....This time working hard to fill those pails with sand and, I'm assuming, discussing the day's events; or Cooper is instructing Lucy on the preferred technique of sand play.  This photo of the painting is much darker than the original, and the sand is not so yellow.  Also, there's a glare...Other than that, it's fine :-)    

Ocean Pwer Walk

5 x 7 Oil on Archival Board

Another moment in time at the beach.  This woman was power walking along the shore.  What struck me as unusual was her attire.  Very elegant. These little vignettes are my way of recording what I saw and felt at certain moments.  Lots of surf, smells of salt water, smells of sun on the sand, and the pounding of the waves on the shore.

Summer Romance

6 x 9 Oil on Archival Board

 

SOLD

Finding a new friend is always a wonderful thing, but especially when it's a summer romance.  Lucy and Cooper will probably never see each other again, but there is something special to be said for this moment in time.  The interaction, the sharing of pails and shovels (mighty big shovels at that), and two year old conversations, is what it's all about...That "ahhh" moment.  In our crazy mixed-up world, a moment like this is heaven.

Group Walk

School's out...Summer begins.  A group of college kids enjoying an empty beach.  Lots to talk about, lots to look forward to.  Summer beach series continues....

These paintings stand alone or look really good together.  If interested in purchasing, click this link:
