26A001 - Line and Wash Beach Sunrise - ACEO

26A001 - ACEO

ACEO - line and watercolor on archival paper

This ACEO (2.5x3.5) painting is an original, line and wash view of the dunes and sea oats looking across the beach to the sea and morning clouds.  I love the freshness of the unmarked sand with the breeze from the water before the heat of the day.

I have included a photo of the painting in my hand and an image of the reverse with my signature and a Bible verse - "The joy of the Lord is my strength."  Nehemiah 8:10.

Pastel 12x18 on UArt

This painting is my memory and interpretation of a view of the estuary marsh in the late summer afternoon. The clouds are starting to build and rain will soon follow.

Winter Rain

Winter Rain 

Pastel on UArt - 12x18

I was inspired by a painting I had completed a few years ago, but the design and atmosphere of the smaller painting inspired me to give it a larger treatment.  The original was done with warm grays for the approach of a summer storm, but since it is winter now, I wanted to give the painting a sense of the coming cold using a cooler, more blue palette.

My goal was to retain the loose, billowy clouds and add a touch of drama by using my strokes to indicate a sense of the on-rushing storm.  I wanted to contrast that movement with the perfect stillness of the beach by keeping the reflections on the wet sand smooth capturing the color of the clouds without the movement.

Here is the original painting for comparison - "Rain Coming" 9x12" pastel on UArt.

Rain Coming

Wet Sand and Wet Feet

 Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 8x10

On the warmer winter mornings, the sea gulls and a few hardy visitors brave the cool, wet sands to watch the sun come up.  The new day is forecast by the reds and lavenders in the clouds, and the gentle fall of the waves as the tide goes out.

Cardinal and Blossoms

 Acrylic on Canvas Panel - 10x8

This cardinal is resting on a branch of apple blossoms that are just opening.  The bright red against the spring green is set off and accented by the pink of the blossoms and opening buds.  

This painting is acrylic on a canvas panel and is a composite of a number of photos from my collection with imagination.

Moon Rise on the Estuary

 Acrylic on Canvas Panel 8x19

In the quiet of evening in the late autumn, the moon has risen before the sun has set.  As the still moments linger, the dark pines catch the last rays of the sun as the moon casts its reflection across the dark water.
