Daily Oil Painting, Birds, "Waverunners" 12x12" SOLD

These birds were my constant companions on early morning walks on the beaches of Sanibel.

SOLD

After 40+ years of seeing the sun rise over the Atlantic, it seemed odd to see it rise from behind the dunes at the Gulf of Mexico.

I used both brush and palette knife on this one. I like the contrast of texture achieved in this way.

The birds ignored me and my camera, knowing they could move much faster then I can.

A recent trip to Sanibel brought me plenty of images to paint. Of course, the beach had to be the star.

SOLD

I had not visited the area for many, many years, and I must admit that I forgot how beautiful it is. The water is aqua and clear, much like the tropical waters of the Caribbean Islands.

I passed this little group of sea oats every morning on the path to the sea. My favorite activity was to walk the beach as the sun was rising, with only the occasional fisherman or shell hunter and lots of pelicans and gulls for company.

Beach, Seascape Paintings by Amy Whitehouse

Discover Seascape Art, Realistic Seascape Paintings, Seascape Paintings, Contemporary Seascape Paintings, Abstract Seascape Paintings, as International Artists post daily their newest artwork. .

18" x 24", Oil, $800

As you know, I could paint the ocean and the beach everyday,

and not get tired of the subject.

Especially when it's 108 degrees outside as it is now, here in the desert.

As I prepare for my new position as Art Teacher for grades K-2 and 6-8

YIKES

I haven't had as much time to paint.

But this is my latest, and I'm pretty happy with it.

I can almost feel the powdery sand all over my feet,

and almost hear the comforting sound of the surf.

If interested in purchasing this painting.

please let me know.

Daily Painter, "All In A Row" 4x12" Original Oil SOLD

Last month we spent a few days at Sanibel. Each morning I would walk down the path to the sea, surrounded by sea grapes.

SOLD

As I would approach the the beach, the tops of brightly colored tents would come into view.

Soon the beach would be alive with beach goers, some of which, spent the whole day under the tents. One group of men would carry table and chairs down each morning, and spend the day playing dominos on the beach.

I was more of a wimp and limited my beach time to early morning and early evening, less crowds and less heat!

Painting in the morning is SOO much better than painting in the evening.

Why can I not make myself paint in the morning more often?!

My painting buddy came over this morning with an extra hot latte

from my favorite coffee place (Village Coffee)

to paint!

YES!

So I had to paint in the morning and let everything else go...

It was wonderful, and I was so happy after doing this ocean painting.

Lots of juicy R&F oil pigment on this baby, so it will take a few weeks to dry.
