For the Love of the sea

You know  l love the sea. I was raised  in Hawaii and  Ocean Beach, Ca.  I love the ocean and don't get to go and enjoy it as much as I would like to. Today I painted by " Memory ". No photo.  I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I did painting it.

I'm working hard on learning to be loose and making my brush strokes exciting. I hope you find some interesting work in this painting.

                                                  

Work Shop w/ Mary Jane Volkmann

This weekend I attended  a work shop given by Mary Jane Volkmann.  This is a little study I did. I set up at the end of a dock and decided to paint fast and free.  This is the results. I am also posting the photo of the bird house as I saw it.  There were blue birds going in and out of the house. It was neat!


Here is the photo
