View At Manhattan Beach, CA

"View At Manhattan Beach"

9" x 12" Acrylic on canvas

$625

Manhattan Beach, California, is part of the "beach cities" south of Los Angeles that I use to frequently visit when I lived in the area.    There is a famous walkway along these beaches known as "The Strand", with beautiful homes on one side, and the gardens planted by the owners on the other side of the walkway facing the beach.    Just beautiful !
To see another painting of the area go here

Glad you stopped by to visit today!

Oh So Blue - Drake Wood Duck

Oh So Blue 

12" x 16" Acrylic on panel

Available

This was finished in the wee hours this morning (Friday).    The blue water is really very blue, but this photo exaggerates the blue a bit.  I rather like how the water turned out, especially the refreshing blue.   Let me know what you think.

Second Stage - WIP Wood Duck

Work In Progress- Second Stage 

12" x 16" acrylic on panel 

Guess it is pretty obvious that I made the water more blue now instead of with a lot of green in it.    This is still very much unfinished and I need to tone down the water more and correct and add some things.   Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow or the next day.   

I welcome any questions and comments !

Wood Duck - Work In Progress

Wood Duck - Work In Progress

12" x 16" Acrylic on panel 

This is a brand new start on a favorite subject of mine - the Wood Duck drake, but also the ripples and colors in the water are always fascinating for me to paint.  This image was photographed outside.  Below is a photo taken inside on my easel.  Note the difference .....

Colors always look bluer when photographed outside; however, the lights inside on this photo is not 100% true either.   I am also working on other paintings, so please check back real soon !
