Early Morning Mist


Oil on canvas
8 x 10 
$185 SOLD

This scene was painted from a photo my husband took just across the street in the horse paddocks.  It was very early and the morning mist was lifting from the previous night's dew.  The big challenge was creating a mist that seemed transparent.

Moving


Oil on panel

$190 framed

An attempt to 'loosen up' with palette knife only.  Lots of fun, but I had to decide not to care if it didn't work. I liked the result.  Thank you Christy for the photo!

My Yellow Truck

Is there anything better than watching children play on the beach?  Or remembering when you were one? Your dad lifting you over the big waves at the very last second. The unexpected 'crunch' of a little sand in your tuna sandwich. Happy, screeching children. Seagulls wheeling and swooping, searching for food neglected.  Digging moats and trenches into the heavy, wet sand to control the uncontrollable tides.   Salt-scented air, warm sticky sand.  You emerge nearly numb from the Maine ocean to drop belly-down on your warm towel.  Hoping, as you drift to sleep, that you won't get too burned.  I'd go back there if I could.
