Abstract Sunset, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Textured, 14x18 Oil on Canvas

When I think of Florida, I think of the sun rising over the sea. It's such a special time to spend on the beach.

Usually, I find myself there alone, with only the soft waves and shore birds to keep me company. I very special time to connect with nature and prepare for the day ahead.

With this piece, I used my palette knife to give movement to the painting.

Small Oil Seascape, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Beach Scene

I may have left Florida behind, bu it is still on my mind. I look forward to spending time on the beach this winter.

Purchase here

This piece was painted, from my memories of days on the beach, the air full of salt spray.

I painted with a palette knife, because, you all know how much I admire texture in my work.

I have several seascapes in my new Asheville home........it keeps me from getting homesick! ACTUALLY, I love it here in the mountains. I now feel I have the best of both worlds. Mountains in the spring, summer and fall, and the beach in the winter. Looking forward to being a "snow bird".

Thanks for visiting today.

Where do I go from here?, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting

Traditionally, January is when we evaluate our performance over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed. I am a little late!

Artistically, I see nothing but question marks. I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.

I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.

Abstract Expressionism?

Maybe....

Thick Paint?

Impressionism?

Brushwork?

Knife?

Really thin paint?

Or does it really matter?

All this thinking is making my head hurt!

I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME. I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.

Maybe 2018 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.

Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!
