SPARKLING DELIGHT

48x60" oil on linen SOLD
I've been at this one for too long but I finally got it where I want it. I apologize for a poor quality photo. This looks better in real life (they always say that don't they?) The light in my studio is not optimum for photos of large pieces and the pics always have a slight dimming around the edge. Maybe I should invest in better lights...nahh! Once a Scotsman, always a Scotsman!

BATHING BEAUTIES




48x60" oil on cradled wood panel


I finished this one over a week ago and am just now getting it online. It's BIG! We got lucky and had some REALLY hot weather a few weeks back so I was able to get on the beach and shoot some great photos of people doing what they do on super sunny days at the beach. I was shooting into the sun for the most part and trying to catch motion and some bokeh. This painting  is actually pretty close to how it looked and felt. I always feel a little uncomfortable taking pictures of strangers on the beach but I didn't get too many glares.
