Coastal Sunrise #5 (Goose Rocks Beach Morning)

Coastal Sunrise #5 (Goose Rocks Beach Morning)
36"x36"
Oil on canvas
Sold

This is the largest piece in the exhibit and one of the very first large ones I have done in my career. The director of the art gallery encouraged me to paint larger and I have done that several times now. I absolutely love it. When I face a canvas taller than I am to work on (on the easel, of course, I'm not that short!), it feels like I am taking on a challenging adversary! Maybe I need to do more of them. Yep.

Framed "Pink Sky, Orange Light"

Framed "Pink Sky, Orange Light"
8x8 oil on canvas 
contemporary maple frame
$195

This is one of the smaller studio paintings. With these, I started smaller and then gradually built up my size until I was at the 3x3 foot largest piece. There is a bit of shine on the canvas in this pic and I will be getting another, better, photo soon. Though it is small, I think it somehow manages to hold the large sky, don't you think?

"Coastal Sunrise #1 (Promise)"

"Coastal Sunrise #1 (Promise)"
Oil on Panel
12x24
Sold

This piece, the first of the Coastal Sunrise Series, is the first stage of several paintings from a spectacular sunrise. A long format makes it even more dramatic, and it was a struggle to get the center area as smooth and still as the upper and lower areas are dramatic.

This piece is available as a giclee at my store. Click here to visit the site.

"Feathery Sky"

"Feathery Sky"
10x10 Oil on Prepared Paper
Matted in an extra deep mat and framed under glass 
with a contemporary maple frame

$360


This painting is one of those get up early and paint the sunrise mornings. It is amazing what clouds do. They change so much in a second! By the time you get to the top, the bottom has changed, and vice versa. But, if you capture it accurately in real time, it will all go together.
