Early Morning Reflections

A Time For Everything
Oil on cradled panel, 12x12

Out of the early morning shadows comes the patterns of reflections of sunlight on the water and an old dory. 

Trip To Anna Marie Island

Love Your Solitude, 6x6 oil on panel

I spent some time painting at Cocquina Beach on Anna Marie Island.  One grey morning, after it had rained for a while, I took some photos of the huge puddles in the sand.  Here is my studio painting inspired by that quiet morning.  I like painting the Gulf waters on rainy, cloudy days - the colors are muted but there is still enough light and reflections to make it interesting.
