Where's the Dock? - SOLD

Pin It
"Where's the Dock"
Oil, 12" x 12"
Sold.

I just finished my "whirlwind" two weeks and although it was a very busy time, it was wonderful. This past week I taught a two-day palette knife workshop. My students traveled from Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and California and we had a VERY productive workshop! In two days we completed four paintings! The painting above is one of my demo paintings and only my students know why the title is so appropriate. (Maybe one of them will leave a comment here and let you know why it is so aptly named ...). The finished paintings from the class are amazing ...

I will post the rest of the paintings this week and also let you know about my experience at the Balboa Artwalk. Hint ... this painting above was one of many that sold at the Artwalk!

Clear Waters

Pin It
"Clear Waters"
Oil, 8" x 8" on canvas panel.
$450.00 framed.
I am ready for the Balboa ArtWalk which is this Sunday, May 16th. The Artwalk is held on Balboa Island from the hours of 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. I think it will be a really good show as there are lots of great artists in the show. My booth will be located between Topaz and Turquoise Streets, along the boardwalk. It should be tons of fun!
This painting is a larger version of a daily painting I did a few months back. I love the colors and the bigger size really jumps out at you!

A Great Day

Pin It
"A Great Day"
Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel
$200.00 unframed.

A few weeks ago I posted on my blog about how frustrated I was that I was having a bad painting day. After the day I had yesterday, I can honestly say that is behind me! Yesterday was just one of those days that I was in the zone ... and as a result I painted four paintings. Yes four paintings! And the best part, I like them all!
The painting posted above is the fourth one I painted. I started it at about 10:00 p.m. but I was on such a role that I didn't want to stop. Maybe I was afraid that if I stopped I might lose the good painting karma?
All four pantings contain my favorite subject matter (boats!) as I am getting ready for the Balboa Artwalk which is this Sunday, May 16th. I hope to see you there!
