"BALBOA"

I was in my friends duffy in the harbor in Newport at sunset and took this shot. The sun had already set so the fun zone was in deep shadows. The sky is from an earlier shot in the day so I put both photos together to make this dramatic contrast of color and mood. Size is 50"X40"

"COAST HWY"

The beginning of The Wave" Painting.















Yes! this is the beginning of the painting that one can see from my little 6"x6" blog study. After prepping the canvas I develop the color for the sky and apply this to the background giving me a sense of what the clouds will be up against, then the fun begins.... I'll be back later with more.

"THE WAVE"














My palette and the colors for this painting are relatively few but the array of colors that can be achieved are many.

"THE MIDWAY"








(Sold)








FOR ART EXPO IN VEGAS

This photo was sent to me of just the sky, it was not very clear so I sat and looked at it and thought, what can I do to make it into a painting... After weeks of thinking I came up with this from photos I too have taken of feilds that crisscross American heartlands and the small carnivals that travel the towns bringing there magic.
