Full time artist living by the sea. I live to paint, mostly the sea and still life but whatever else speaks to me of beauty, of light, of timelessness.
Finally calling it quits. This is a Davinci moment he said »no painting is ever finished , only abandoned ». Just in time I broke my shoulder 2 days ago won’t be painting for a while sorry about the glare at the top

I’ve won a few battles but not the war. Tomorrow is a new day. Charge!

On the easel. I love painting onions. I got two huge red torpedos with tops. Loved how they dried, damn mess what was I thinking. Trying to fight my way to the finish, losing so far #alliums #oilpainting

Finished 2 versions of “Beach Walk” you can see the tiny figure if you expand it. Small oils each 6x12 tiny size but big scale. Just how I feel when I walk there.

A photo of late light along the coast. What would you choose to be the main point, the wave, the sky, the light each will make a different painting.

One of the mind blowing times on the beach on the Oregon Coast is when the tide is out leaving a huge reflective sand with a sky that blends right into it so closely that you feel you are walking on the air itself….I’m trying to paint that dont know if I’ll make #oilpainting #seascape #Oregon

Painting by Richard Schmid first saw it 10 years ago in a post. One of my all time favorite painters. Took 10 years to get the skills to attempt something inspired by this
