Where Eternity Lies - 24x36 Oil Painting


Closeup:

A few months ago I painted a little painting called "Storm Over Hammocks Beach" that inspired this larger piece. There's something about these expansive views of deserted beaches that haunts me. It's where sky meets sea - and where we remember just how small we are.

Breaking Through - 12x12 Oil Painting

There's nothing I love better than painting a moody beach scene. This one really captured me - the lonely cloud wandering over, the clearing sky, the saturated light breaking through. It also makes me glad I made the switch to deeper canvases, because it makes a great impression hanging on the wall.

This is the first of many future large painting offerings. I've always wanted to offer bigger paintings online and finally decided to just jump in and do it. This one was the icebreaker for me, and I'm almost done with my next piece in this size.

This captures one of those Outer Banks days of blue waters and crashing waves. Crisp blues and whites with touches of green - great for a beach setting or anyone that wants to feel closer to the ocean. The waves are textured. This is from a reference I took at Hammock's Beach, North Carolina. Hope to go back this summer for more!

Hi everyone! This is a little nugget of the Blue Ridge. Love those soft evening colors!

I've finally finished my 24x36 ocean painting that I've been working so diligently on - it's going to dry for a while and will be up in a week or two. Hope everyone's having a great month!

Flanners Beach - 18x24 Oil Painting

18"x24" oil painting on stretched canvas

I thoroughly enjoyed painting this waterside scene from the Croatan National Forest. Many of us artists have subjects we subconsciously or not avoid; I've always been a little nervous to paint rocks but it was actually an enjoyable experience.

My last rework for now, this time a bigger painting. Before the rework it was very dull and uninspired; it was fun to come back and add color and depth to it.

This view was the view from our cabin near Mendocino, California on our honeymoon a few years ago. It's a really beautiful spot and it was nice to revisit it through painting.

A Case of the Blues - 20x20 Oil Painting

This guy was notoriously difficult to color correct. I've always found blue to be one of the hardest colors to photograph. It's a painting that shows better in person - the waters are a tad bit more of a gray-blue in actuality, and the boat is a more vivid blue.

I apologize for the long absence - it was longer than I intended. I took a little time away from painting to rejuvenate. Thanks for sticking around! Link
