Golden Sunrise, 24 x 24 Oil on Linen Seascape

 

I went straight from painting a sunny beach with a baby sitting on it to this. The beauty of the ocean is a moveable feast, endlessly changing.

Checkin' the Waves, Oil on Canvas 11x14

This is our adorable grandson at the beach. This reminded me of surfers in our community standing on a crossover to the beach and checking the waves, deciding whether to go to school (or work, as the case may be).

Cell Phone Cutie, 8x10 Oil on Canvas, Child with Phone

 

This little cutie was so engrossed in his phone that he was ignoring the sweet, fat treat beside him. The scene was further enhanced by the beam of sunlight on his head.

The Farrier, 16x20 Watercolor Equine Art

I am primarily an oil painter, but I enjoyed doing this watercolor. I suppose it's unusual to have a horse's rear end be prominent in a painting, but I loved the farrier's pose.

Quilling Fun I've Been Having Lately

I started quilling flowers and cards, then discovered the beauty of monograms. This one was for my daughter Suzanne, the accomplished gardener.

Quillyfish

These little fish are for the Just Another Fish on the Wall exhibit at the Fifth Avenue Gallery in Melbourne on April 4th. The technique is called Quilling, hence my title, "Quillyfish." I look forward to seeing what the talented artists around here make for the exhibit.

Just for Fun Flippable Painting

This is my small dual-purpose seascape. Flip it and it becomes river rapids with a forest in the background.
