Like many artists, I sometimes struggle to come up with a title for my painting. I’ve tried turning to poetry, to puns or plays on words, or even using the location name as part of or the whole title. In this case, I couldn’t get away from imagining these rocks as individuals gathering together to hear some particularly interesting bit of gossip. What do you see?

I’m always fascinated by how the color of the sea changes in sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic fashion, depending on where you are. In this area of the coast, so often the sea appeared almost an emerald green, with the sand varying between a warm peach and a cool pink. The contrast between the water and the beach was so beautiful! I also love the lighthouse just visible at the end of this strip of land.

Fog's Coming!

            I loved painting this scene from our recent trip to the west coast. The sea here was roiling and full of foam. I expected to find the fog the least interesting thing to paint but as I studied my photos, I realized that the fog actually had many beautiful colors in it especially where it thinned out and the blue sky could be seen through it. It was a lovely, cool day, and so perfect  for walking on the beach.

            Happy Weekend!

            I remember catching a beautiful sunset, after eating a delicious dinner overlooking the ocean. The night was cool with gentle breezes….just a bit different from this sweltering, sticky August evening in Georgia. Oh well, there’s always next year!

            Happy Weekend!

I love painting sand! It’s always a challenge and a joy to discover and paint all of the colors I see in sand. It can appear one color in the light, others in the shadows. And as beach lovers already know, it’s a slightly (or even dramatically) different color wherever you go. 

Happy Weekend!
