"Puerto Rico Beach"

6 x 12 acrylic on canvas

Available through DPW gallery/auction

I needed to paint one more beach scene for this months VPO visit to Puerto Rico. The original link can be seen here.

I really love to do these "slices" of beaches, and I am now convinced that I need to do a series of the US coastline in the 6x12 format. I've done a few in the past, and some have sold, but I really want to do a painting of all the US states that have a water coastline. Even the states that border the Great Lakes. This might be my 2017 challenge to myself! 

30 in 30 days - Day 26 - Coastal Lighthouse

Acrylic on 9x12 stretched canvas

The lone coastal lighthouse sits at the edge of the coastline, surf crashing against the land & stone. Sea gulls flying in looking for food - can you hear their squawk? This is another card-inspired painting - and this also has iridescent gold in it (random spots, but especially on the outlines of the gulls. I always liked doing seascapes, but haven't in a while. Might be something I delve into again soon.
