"Coastal Drama"

9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel

I started this and nearly finished it "en Plein Air" on location at Sullivan's Island station 30.  I snapped a bunch of reference photos and put final touches on it when I returned to the studio.
This particular day was hot and sticky and although it was sunny, you could see by the dramatic cloud formations off shore that there was a storm in our near future.
These kind of cloudy days are so fun to capture on canvas!

"Beach Brothers"

16"x20" Oil on Linen Canvas

This was a commission for a woman whose younger brunette looks a lot like my own son. . . I really enjoy painting these sweet "moments" in time: capturing little ones playing at the beach.  So fun!
