ONE HUNDRED!

Just completed my one hundredth painting ( of water) ..  Am including background on the is to show scale. Makes me want go surfing again tomorrow.. at dawn..

4'x4'  oil/canvas

The obvious question...

What is the color of water?

the color of water?  #1  24"x30"  oil on canvas

This question has been my companion since I first opened a tube of paint and attempted to paint the element I adore and spend so much time in... I know, I know, water technically is clear, and reflects it's surroundings, but still....the beginning of a more methodical exploration perhaps? Especially in relation to pigments. 

Giving Way To Light

"Giving Way To Light"  oil , 36"x36"

Yet another professional photography session... and I wonder why the color is always off. Will take more care for the website...

Onto the next painting!  More water!!!

Morning/Mourning

I stopped this painting midway when I had to go back east when my Dad passed away...finished it when I returned..
Oddly enough, I couldn't take an accurate photo of it as every photo turned blue...Only when I put it against the yellow wall with no zoom was the color accurate. Must be some setting on the camera I have yet to understand..Can't crop too close either as it is blurry...Too bad my perfectionist leanings don't extend to this blog.. otherwise the photos I take would be a lot different...Being impatient isn't very helpful either..
