Breakers

11x14 Original Oil Painting
With brush and palette knife.


The windy waves mount up and curve and fall,
    And round the rocks the foam blows up like snow,—

    Tho' I am inland far, I hear and know,
For I was born the sea's eternal thrall.

I would that I were there and over me
    The cold insistence of the tide would roll,
    Quenching this burning thing men call the soul,—

Then with the ebbing I should drift and be
    Less than the smallest shell along the shoal,
Less than the sea-gulls calling to the sea.

3 New Commissions

I always like creating custom paintings. Here's a couple I've been working on lately.

Sea Breeze-SOLD

"Sea Breeze"
5x7 oil on canvas panel
Daily painting
Painted Aug. 12th

I'm not too good at painting people yet, but its a start. It still evokes the feeling of wanting to be on the beach with the breeze in your hair.

Saltwater Souvenirs- SOLD

"Saltwater Souvenirs"
8x10 Oil on panel
Painted Aug. 6th

We went to Isle of Palms beach outside of Charleston a couple weeks ago and I got some saltwater taffy. I'm trying out different brush strokes. I really love impressionism too so I was trying to capture that style. I think I overblended the paint a bit. Thats something I need to work on, but I'm still happy with the painting.

Zona Hotelera

SOLD
Zona Hotelera
8x10 Oil on canvas panel
Painted August 1st

The Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) in Cancun, Mexico is the subject of this painting. We went here for our honeymoon. The crystal clear water and the brilliantly blue Carribean sky is amazing!
