Waves on Rocky Shore - The more I paint water, the more I want to paint it. It is a real challenge to make it look alive. I worked on this one until I could almost hear the crashing sounds of the waves against the rocks. Only you painters will probably understand that. Your comments are welcome.

Wind and Surf - An exercise in the creation of movement on a two dimensional surface. It's not as easy as one would think.Watch the wind blow the mist off the whitecaps. Lately I seem to be mesmerized by the sea as far as painting exercises are concerned. This little 8 x 10 was more fun than anything I've done in a long time. Your comments are welcome.

Lighthouse Point - Oil on 9 x 12 Canvas Panel



NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Lighthouse Point - The morning mist or fog is in process of burning off, but still it obscures the clear view of the lighthouse. If you look closely you can see the sun has warmed up the image of the lighthouse. The surf keeps rolling in getting more intense in values as the waves get closer. I love the mood of this painting, but I've got to say thanks to Roy Lang (oil painter) from England whose book on painting the sea has benefited me greatly in painting scenes such as these. I emailed him the other day and sent him a (.jpg image) of one of my unpublished seascapes. He was kind enough to email me back and offer me some good advice on painting the sea. Thanks Roy. I took the idea of this lighthouse from a photo I took years ago, I'm not sure where it was, and combined it with waves and a shoreline similar to one in Roy's book. It really made a nice combination. Your comments are welcome.
