"Serenity In Motion"


                                                   9"x12" w/c and acrylic on paper
                                                                     $300

The reference photo for this painting was taken at a park (Myrtle Edwards beach park) in Seattle, Washington; however,  I changed the scene drastically so it is not typical of the actual spot.   This painting began as a watercolor, but as it progressed I made changes in acrylic.   The forground is mostly watercolor with touches of colored pencil in the rocks.     Yes, I use to use Prismacolor colored pencils frequently; alone or in combination with watercolor.  I might return to colored pencils again one day, but for the present prefer oils and acrylics.  I am considering painting more watercolors just for this blog; mostly affordable miniatures.    Let me know what you would like to see on this blog,   I welcome all comments!

At present I am working on another 5x7 oval miniature which I hope to post tomorrow.   Please check back often and visit awhile!

As always, if interested in purchasing this or another painting, please feel free to contact me at 808.536.0650  or email  reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com.

"Near Monterey"


8"x10" Acrylic on canvas
$500

This is a scene near Monterey, California, a place I enjoy visiting.  I used my imagination and added the girl and the seagulls.  Otherwise, the painting is pretty true to the actual area.

"Must Be 30-footer" - repainted

4"x6" Oil
$135

This painting was a previous post in acrylic, but I was not happy with the painting over time and decided to go over the entire painting with oils; I like the result much better now.    This is a winter scene on the North Shore of Oahu when the waves do reach 30 feet or more at times during that time of the year.  There were actually 4 people out on the rocks taking in the power and beauty of the surf when I took reference photographs of this scene.  Somehow two people seemed the perfect accent for this painting and to show the height of the wave in its proper scale or perspective.

"Rhapsody"


5"x7" Oil on canvas
Sold


This painting was photographed today while still wet, right after I finished painting it.  It is on stretched canvas and the sides of the canvas have also been painted, so it can be hung unframed if so desired.  There are subtle touches of pink in the waves and water that the camera did not pick up fully.  Overall, I am satisfied with this painting.  I worked on two other miniature paintings today, as well, and both of them have been posted before as acrylics but today I reworked them in oils and I am much happier with the way they look now.   May post them again soon so you can compare the old version vs. the new oil version.   I much prefer working in oils and the way they handle and blend.

"Got the Blues"


5"x7" oil on canvas
$150.00

This a very recent painting I had great fun painting.   It is painted on stretched canvas whose sides are also painted, so it could be hung unframed.   However, I recommend a frame to give it more of an eloquent look.   It is just a matter of personal preference. Hope you enjoy and come visit again soon.

This scene with rainbow bridge in the background is in Haleiwa Town on the North Shore of Oahu.
Haleiwa is a very quaint, small "artsy " town with several art galleries to its credit.  There is even a
Wyland gallery there.  Haleiwa is also a popular hangout for surfers.

Thank you for visiting and please come back often.

"Three On The Beach"


8"x10" Acrylic on canvas
$425

This is an entirely "made-up" scene.  However, I had a reference photo I had taken of the dog and I included him in this painting just for fun.  

Thank you for viewing my paintings.
