Now that I am living in Florida full time, I find myself missing the Appalachian landscape.

Abstract Oil Landscape Painting, Small Original Artwork, Coastal Home Decor, Daily Painting
The Outer Banks on North Carolina have been on my mind. I was thinking of Ocracoke when I painted this little abstract seascape.
The Outer Banks is like no other place I have visited. Surrounded by water, the residents are a hardy type who take pride in providing for themselves. The danger of living there, is still felt, as the tropical storms and hurricanes devastate the dunes and road on a regular basis. In earlier times, shipwrecks littered the beaches.
I painted with a palette knife and oils, leaving it as raw and wild as the beaches.
Thanks for viewing my art today.

Palette Knife Techniques
The most enjoyable experiences, I get out of painting, almost always involves a palette knife. I may start out with a brush in hand, but eventually the knife takes over.
This was my first experience. I started on a canvas with a half finished painting. One I had lost interest in ever finishing.
If you are interested in painting with a palette knife, you might want to check out this tutorial. I found it to be very helpful.

Hydrangea Floral Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
 |
| SOLD |
I picked these hydrangea from my garden and was compelled to paint them. Hydrangea are probably my very favorite flowers and I love the summer months when my home is surrounded with their massive blooms.
I wanted to keep the painting as simple as the pitcher and mug.

For me, keeping it simple usually means "palette knife".
This original painting is sold, but it can be ordered as a giclee print on canvas, paper or wood. You can find it on my Etsy link below.
Enjoy your day!

Farmhouse Wall Decor, Cow Portrait Painting on Linen, Daily Painting
A client wanted a cow painting, for licensing purposes. I usually do daily painting of still life or landscape, but I have to admit I enjoyed both the horse, they originally chose, and this cow painting.

| Purchase here 250 + shipping |
I painted on Senso linen canvas. I had a pad of the linen around for several years but didn't really know what to do with it. I found it had a different texture than the cotton canvas I usually paint on, but once I got into the painting, it was fine.

So, today I stretched my limits, both with the Senso canvas and the cow painting, and luckily both worked out for me!
This is a re-post, and the cow has been sold. However, if you are interested, giclee prints are available on canvas and wood planks, in the size of your choice. Check it out on my Etsy site at the link below

Underwater wonderland, Coral Reel Seascape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD
I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings. I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".
While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat. I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos. I did love the trip out and the trip back. I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.
