Where Eternity Lies - 24x36 Oil Painting

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.

Immersion - 24x36 Oil Painting

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!

Transience - 6x8 Oil Painting

6"x8" oil painting on archival canvas panel
SOLD

I'm heavily drawn to shades of gray in paintings, and capturing that soft washed out feel of a misty day. This is all about the ephemeral balance between sand and sky on one of those days.

I've started working in earnest on a large 24"x36" very detailed ocean wave painting. I've been itching to paint large for so long. I'm going to enjoy the process but put a lot of work into it each day so I can get it out there within a reasonable time.

Please also note that I've changed the look of my blog! A critique on Artist.Blog.Critique mentioned my outdated blog look, and I couldn't disagree. Check out that black bar up top - you can stick to Classic View to view full posts, which should be default. And it's fun to try out the Flipcard View to see just paintings that I've posted to get an overall feel of my work. Let me know how you like the new look, or if you have any problems!

This is a very simple beach view, but I was captivated by the seemingly endless sand. I'm very much looking forward to warmer weather and beach visits.

Drifting - 20x20 Oil Painting




Closeup of detail:

20"x20" oil painting on stretched canvas
SOLD

There was something about this painting that my camera was at odds with. It's taken a lot of tweaking and this is close, but there's a bit of subtlety and luminance lost versus the actual painting. Sometimes the photographing is harder than the painting!


I've very drawn to these pristine, expansive beaches with giant clouds looming overhead. My favorite part of going to the beach has always been to watch the clouds, while hearing the ocean crash around me. Painting these scenes always brings that back.
