I wanted plenty of texture in this piece.
It was a fun exercise, although I wish I had done a larger piece. Maybe someday I will.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Daily Painting, Seascape Painting, Ocean Painting, Beach Painting, "Celebrating Blue" 16x20x1.5" Oil
I wanted to do a seascape, or actually a beach painting, somewhere between an abstract and impressionism. If this looks a little familiar, it is because I posted the study for this work a month or two ago.
I wanted to record just my memories and impressions of trips to the beach. I painted with a knife and tried to work quickly.
I tried not to think too much about the colors I was using or where I was putting them, but tried to keep it really instinctive.

Abstract Landscape Painting, Textured Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 10x10x3" Oil
I found some square 3 inch deep canvases in my studio, and decided to play around with one.

I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

Small Sunflower Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil
Sunflowers and farmhouses, the perfect pairing!
It is a cold, gray day, here in the mountains, and sunflowers are the perfect way to brighten things up.
Both sunflowers and farmhouses, are not uncommon, here in the mountains. It's hard not to smile when I look at sunflowers.
Yesterday, we drove over the mountains to Gatlinburg. I am happy to report that things are looking up there. Spring is taking over, renewal is everywhere. Yes, there are still signs of the devastating fires from last fall, but the mood is upbeat and the tourists are there.
Have a wonderful day!

Abstract Seascape Painting, 8x16" Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occassion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

Daily Painting, Oil, Animal, Sheep, 8x10
My friend, Donna Vines, took a trip to Northern England earlier this year. She was kind enough to share her photos with me. I have painted several of them and I could not resist this small lamb walking the moor.
I painted with palette knife and brush and tried to get lots of texture in it. I liked the rugged feel. I have never been on the moors, but I think they would feel rugged and cold and windy.
I painted a ram a few months ago, which I like to think is this lamb's daddy. You can view it here
Have a wonderful week!
