The latest in a series I call Key Largo. I used acrylic gel for texture on the Angel Fish and then a smaller version. I also used quite a bit of glazing for this piece. Overall I am OK with the way it turned o

My Coco

I have a little Yorky who's name is Coco. He has been a part of our family for going on 14 years now.
We had so much fun with him throughout the years, seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from Nashville where he was born.
He's been on vacation with us many times. He loves to go boating and chasing squirrels .
I painted this little pic of Coco a while back on osb board and just wanted him on my blog as an honor to our beloved pet.

This is the second painting in a series I call Key Largo. I love the underwater world with it's vas array of colors, shapes, and textures. It is truly a world of it's own and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to visit there. Angel fish are some of the most colorful and beautiful fishes. This painting is dedicated to them.

I recently tried a new line of paints. They are Holbein Acryla and boy are they vibrant. Also the consistency is wonderful making it so easy to blend. I was really thrilled with the way this pelican looks. I painted it on Friday and it sold on Saturday. I will be doing a few more of these. I painted this on OSB board.

Floral Study

I belong to an Artists Co Op Gallery in Fairhope, Al. The town is well known for it's artist's community. I have been mostly selling my art down at the beach.
The artistic tastes in Fairhope are much more eclectic. This is a great place to learn.
I work in the co-op gallery every other Friday. There are so many excellent, polished artists in this co-op I still can't believe I am really among them.
I am working on a few different things lately other than beachy, you know so much to do and so little time, it is frustrating. Here's an UNFINISHED piece that is really a surprise for me....it's not half bad. Fast sketch and loose painting.
I would really love to paint all day every day but gotta pay the light bill for now with my day job.
I will post the finished piece when it's done.

worked on this a little more...I think it's finished....

I worked on this flora yesterday. I'm really liking the florals.

Abstract

I'm very interested in doing some abstract art...the sky's the limit there. I'm working on a few ideas and this is one I tried and I like it. Don't ask me how it happened. It just did.
Any ideas for a name? I have a few choices but what do you think?

Beach House

I was asked to do a painting for some folks who live close to Nashville Tn.
They wanted a beach with a little cottage and they wanted it on OSB Board for the texture. The size is 24X36". They are in the process of picking the one which will work best with their decor.
