I am still busy with my Estuary series but like to take a break now and again! This beach is not far from where I live and provided some good crashing waves for photos to paint from!

I had other ideas for this painting when I first started and it was nothing like it is now!  Somehow it took on a life of it's own...I love it when that happens! I did this on a medium canvas panel instead of smooth board  and used a palette knife as well. I liked the texture, it's quite different from board and takes thicker paint.

Another boat...came upon this one afternoon and liked the color, I probably won't be painting any more boats in this size, I seem to get too caught up in detail and it drives me crazy! I thought I'd have a change from landscapes and flowers but it didn't quite work.

I am going on holiday tomorrow and have been  painting  to try and keep ahead (that hasn't quite worked either!)  life gets so busy....hoping to take lots of photos while I'm away!! I will be back here in ten days.

In Port for the Day

6"x8" oil on board

I have seen this boat tied up here a few times and often thought about painting it...this morning it was early, not many people were around so I was able to get a good photo and some sketches. I was pleased with this view because it can  be difficult to get a good composition of a boat when they're in this harbor.
