Shrimp Boat - 6x6 Oil Painting

Shrimp Boat Oil Painting by Kerri Settle
6"x6" oil painting on archival canvas panel
SOLD

This guy was parked outside a seafood restaurant at Sneads Ferry. It was nice to break away from straight-up landscape paintings for a bit and paint a boat instead, and all those wires were fun to play around with.

The little seascapes I've been painting recently were to help me stay loose on this larger painting. I always find these scenes of the Outer Banks to be relaxing and fun to paint. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I painted a few of these smaller ocean studies to get loosened up and get ideas for a slightly larger painting. Tomorrow I'll post a similar study.

Simplicity - 5x7 Oil Painting


5"x7" oil painting on archival canvas panel
SOLD

"'Think simple' as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles."
- Frank Lloyd Wright

For me, this painting was an exercise in reducing a landscape to its most basic forms; the land, broken by a hint of water winding through the marsh, a cloudless sky, and that solid dark line of trees.

Silver - 24x24 Oil Painting

silver sky marsh oil painting by Kerri Settle
24"x24" oil painting on stretched canvas
SOLD

"Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold." - Maurice Setter

This is another painting that's been on the backburner for a while. I've always been drawn to silver motifs in paintings and really loved painting that wide open sky.

Endings - 5x7 Oil Painting

Sunset over lake oil painting by Kerri Settle
5"x7" oil painting on archival canvas panel
SOLD

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." - Pablo Picasso

I have to say, it's been relaxing and enjoyable to paint these little sunset paintings lately. I like to imagine those perfect ends to perfect days. Life can be so hectic; it's nice to escape into tranquil moments through painting.

View of Bear Island Salt Marshes - 18x24 Oil Painting

SOLD

"When I look at a painting it isn't only the painting that I see but the thing that I am. If there is more in the painting than I am, then I won't see it." - Ivan Eyre

I hope everyone's having a great 4th of July!

Here's a larger painting of one of the views from Bear Island, of the marshes. It's been on and off my easel for the past few weeks, it took me a while to find the time to finish it up.

Sunset Lake II - 6x6 Oil Painting

Sunset Lake oil painting by Kerri Settle
6"x6" oil painting on archival canvas panel
SOLD

"Happiness comes from within a man, from some curious adjustment to life." - Hugh Walpole

I didn't get a chance to post this painting yesterday on my blog, so here it is now. I've painted a few similar scenes to it before; I just really love that warm palette and playing with the tree silhouettes overhanging the lake. I've been running low on these square format 6"x6" canvases for a while so I haven't gotten to paint many lately, but I've just ordered a new batch. The square format has always been a favorite of mine.
