If you haven't heard of the website "Morguefile" it is an excellent resource for free photos (no copyright).  Great for reference photos and ideas.  That's where I got this little guy.  Anyone know what he is?

Low Tide, Popham Beach

Oil on canvas
7 x 14
SOLD

What a wonderful spot this is in Maine.  At low tide the beach yields many large sun-warmed wading pools.  I loved the reflection of the lifeguard chair in this one.  This painting was done with a knife only, using the medium Neo Megilp for the first time.  Great stuff!

 Study done in oil, 8 x 10

Since I was committing to a large canvas I knew I needed to do a small study to determine composition and color choices.  I had to simplify a fairly busy harbor full of boats down to what I thought was a nice minimum.  I knew the seaweed area in the foreground would be difficult as it was extremely busy with various rocks and multi-colored seaweed.
