"Beach Rock Abstraction" SOLD

8"x10" Oil on Linen Panel   SOLD

This painting originated at Fort Moultrie Beach looking back toward Charleston.  My artist friend, Ann Keane, inspired this painting for me.  She paints plein air the initial landscape and then takes it back to her studio and furthers the image painting only with a palette knife.  This is how "Beach Rock Abstraction" developed.  Thanks, Ann!
