Abstract Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Abstract Seascape, 6x6x1.5" SOLD
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.

A Painting Workshop to Remember!
Today, I am repeating a post, from a few years ago. I think it is worthy of your attention, again. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, my friends Carmen and Donna and I drove to Fernandina Beach, FL to attend a 4 day workshop with Elio Camacho. Elio is one of my favorite painters and my very favorite instructor and I have been lucky enough to attend with workshops twice a year for the past three years.
I started each day with this beautiful sunrise over the ocean, while eating breakfast at the hotel.
This is one of Elio's 36x48" demos that he paints in just three hours!
Here Elio met a challenge to paint without darks. He often states a painting should bring it's own light. I think this one meets that requirement
Another of his larger than life paintings.
This was a 25 minute demo he did for us on foam core. He pushed the color even more than usual and got wild and crazy.
His brushwork is very exciting...something I am hoping to bring to my work.
Elio spent a year painting blue studies, then moved on and studied yellows and reds. He likes to set up still life, to challenge his students, all in a single color. He believes red is the most difficult color to paint. If you can do a red painting, you can really see color. This was a 20 minute demo he did for us.
We hated to leave the workshop after 3.5 intense and fun days. To console ourselves, we had a final lunch of fried shrimp at our favorite eatery.
A final photo of Carmen and Donna, de-stressing with ice cream in front of Island Art Association. We thank the members for hosting us once again. Then we hop into our car for the drive home.
One last classic Elio demo that he painted in about 15 minutes, out of his head. I almost cried when he scrapped it off the next morning.
Needless to say, we are excited to return for his next Florida workshop in the spring. You can find his workshop schedule here.

Abstract Painting, Seascape Palette Knife Art, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14" Oil on Canvas, SOLD
For me, the best time to visit the beach is sunrise or sunset. It is such a spiritual experience.
At sunset, you may not be alone, but in a group of spectators, standing in awe, as the sun sinks into the sea.
Both experiences will enrich your day.

In the morning, I am usually alone. Just me, my camera, the birds, and possible a lone fisherman, trying his luck.
