Another dramatic sky blanketing this seascape. I tend to think of many of my works as emotional landscapes. I would not call myself an “emotional landscape painter” simply because I find labels to be limiting. I probably just have a contrary nature.
A lovely little painting from just about a year ago. This painting now resides in California.
I never took a finished photo of this painting. I still don’t have a proper photo! It is at least an interesting contrast in environments.
I dug out an older board with some texture. Stripped off the painting and made this one. It’s the classic wash rinse and repeat.
I am painting some 12″x9″ loose sunset imagery. Really enjoying the light and atmosphere! I will be creating some larger pieces in this vein soon.
I thought I would share a WIP on this Friday morning. The smooth sparkle of the water is feeling pretty good here.
I have been working on this large painting for some time now. I thought I would post a preview of it!
I have been working steadily on some powerful storm imagery. This particular piece is one of my favorites.
I did not have specific plans for these, just driven to create them. Horizon Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, wanted them. They ended up selling this one before I could get it varnished. So Messenger, will be shipping directly to California. The other three will heading to Wyoming. I will post images of them all when they leave North Idaho.
This is the last of my smaller wave paintings. I am moving on to the large commission at long last! It is not going to be a recreation of any of the recent wave paintings. It will however pull ideas from each of them. Most of all I was trying to get my brain in the mindset of the ocean and surf.
