Docked

Pin It

"Docked"
Oil, 8" x 8" 
$300.00 on canvas panel with display easel.
This palette knife painting of a small sailboat was completed this past weekend while I was in Balboa Island at a painting workshop with Darrell Hill. He is an amazing artist and has truly mastered how to "tell a story with as few brush strokes as possible".  I think Darrell's two favorite colors to paint with are orange and sage green - so we definitely agree on color selection! Darrel paints quickly because he doesn't over paint his paintings. His brush strokes are deliberate and his colors are pure and clear. He seems to have mastered a routine and style that allows him to create some of the most stunning paintings I have ever seen.  If you ever get a chance, take one of his workshops!

Having Fun in Hawaii

Pin It
"High School Steps"
Oil, 11" x 14" framed.
$950.00 at SoPas Gallery

This painting is part of my "Headlines" show. I am in Kona right now and have had an amazing time. I spent a few days painting and enjoying the beautiful scenery. My highlight of the trip was spending the afternoon with Darrell Hill. We met on facebook and I am a huge fan. He was kind enough to meet me at my hotel and he painted on the beach. I was in awe of every brushstroke. I met his lovely wife and enjoyed watching one of my favorite artists at work. His art is amazing!
