FIREFLIES


Finally, I have completed a nocturnal painting that I like.  Here is Fireflies.  I fell in love with a painting seen at the Amon Carter Art Museum in Fort Worth Texas.  It was The Old Stage Coach of the Plains done by Fredric Remington.  It took my breath away.  Since then I've wanted to do a nocturne.  I love seeing fireflies at night.  They light up the landscape like stars light up the sky.  I intentionally left the stars out so the fireflies could have their moment to shine.

SUNSET ON BAYOU DRIVE


Here is a painting of a sunset on Bayou Drive in Florida.  It has a tonalist influence which I have been studying for the last three years.  American landscape artist and tonalist George Inness is my main inspiration.

HARBOR BEACH CLUB NORTH END PALMS


This painting was done on site at Harbor Beach Club in New Port Richie Florida.  One of the Friday artists invited several of us artists to come and paint on this beautiful beach.  The sea provided the well needed breeze to withstand the summer heat.  It was a beautiful day.

Sunset on Bayou Drive



This is a Pastel of a Sunset on Bayou Drive.  It is one of my favorite places to paint.  The salt marshes are up against the Gulf of Mexico and provide an endless supply of inspiration for paintings.  I had it scanned and a Giclee done of it for a customer.  The original is 15" X 33".  Giclees can be ordered larger or smaller.  To order contact me through email.
