Work In Progress - Horses at South Padre Island

Work in Progress - Horses at South Padre Island

8" x 16" oil on canvas on panel

There will be more horses on the dunes in this painting when it is finished.  I am rather happy with this beginning.   South Padre Island, Texas, holds many memories for me.  Below are a couple of reference photos for this painting that I took a few years ago.  I had believed and posted earlier that these photos were taken at North Padre Island, but a friend who was on the trip with me assured me recently that it was South Padre Island.

I am working on other paintings as well right now.   Please visit again soon !

A Good Day At Kailua Beach

"A Good Day At Kailua Beach"

16" x 20" Acrylic on canvas

Available

Kailua Beach has been called one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.   It is very inspiring to me as an artist and I must return there soon.   I have many reference photographs I have taken of the area already, but there are still endless possibilities for new paintings to be found at Kailua Beach, located on Oahu.  So much inspiration, so little time !     :-)

Garden Along The Strand

"Garden Along The Strand"

9" x 12" Acrylic on canvas

$625

The Strand is a famous walkway along the "Beach Cities" south of Los Angeles.   Beautiful homes are along one side of the Strand and the owners plant gardens on the other side of the walkway and it makes for wonderful scenes to paint.   I spent some time in Los Angeles and visited the beach cities often.   This scene is part of Manhattan Beach, California.    

Thank you for visiting today!

Peonies and More Peonies !

"Peony Delight"

6" x 12" Oil on canvas

$500

This was a delight to paint!   Peonies are so regal and in my book are the "queen" of flowers.   They have been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years and are the floral symbol of that country.  Romans first brought peonies to England about the year 1200.   

Below is a considerably better photograph of the painting "Glorious Abundance" which I first posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012.  

"Glorious Abundance"

16" x 20" Oil on canvas

It is difficult for all the true colors in the white peonies to show up in the photograph, but this image above is pretty close.

We Four (Red and White Tulips)

"We Four"

6" x 12" oil on canvas

$500

This painting is rather a bold statement, but that is the effect I wanted.  I hope to paint more tulips soon, maybe some soft pink ones.   Everyone must realize that tulips do not grow in Hawaii's tropical climate, but I buy them from the florist to paint and just enjoy their beauty for a few days in my home.   I planted several varieties of tulips in my garden when I lived in New England, as well as crocus and daffodils.  What a pretty sight every Spring !

Glorious Abundance - Peonies

"Glorious Abundance"

16" x 20" Oil on canvas

Peonies are a favorite flower of mine, but of course they do not grow in a tropical climate like Hawaii so I have to buy cut flowers from the florist to enjoy and paint.   When I lived in New England I had several peonies in my flower garden.
