"Seaside Park" (Marblehead, MA)

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel 

(Bid at DPW)

This is a painting I started at on location at Seaside Park in Marblehead.  It’s one of the few places you can briefly get away from civilization with dense woods.  After a 1/4 mile, you step out of the woods into a magnificent view of the harbor with the lighthouse in the distance.

"Galveston Getaway"

I revisited a plein air painting from the this summer now that I'm learning figures.  Adding people, seagulls, towels and the umbrella set-up really gave this painting the feel of a weekend at Galveston.

"Laniakea Views"

10/16/12:  I finished this piece for an online workshop.  It was great to paint another beach scene.  The brilliant blues and greens of the water remind me of the Laguna Beach, California area. 

Fresh Views

I had a fun time playing around with a picture from just west of Gunnison, CO.  The background view is the same, but I added some pines and brush to the foreground to help the composition. This is the third in the series of paintings from Dad's trip.  The West is truly amazing!
