Recent Beach Painting

This is my most recent painting of the beach at St. George Island in Florida.  It's a place we like to go and fish, walk the beach and hang out for a couple of weeks in the early fall.  It's nice to go when we have finished our gardening back home and the kids are back in school.  The beach is pretty quiet in September and October.  This year we will take our kayaks, bikes and fishing gear, and of course my paints.

I really enjoyed playing with the clouds in this painting.  There is such a freedom when you are painting clouds.  This painting was a pleasure, I enjoyed all the bright colors.

Something New

I recently joined a group of local artists that run a gallery in Georgia.  Really excited about painting with other artists on a regular basis, learning from each other and sharing the good life of being up to my elbows in oil paint!  We each take turns working in the gallery.  It's exciting to sell the paintings, even when it's not your own.  I trust my turn will come.  It's an excellent way to increase your productivity.  It's a large enough gallery so that I'm challenged to fill my space with current paintings.
