This is an older painting I've done and thought I'd put it up here through eBay for sale. This particular scene is a man sailing what I now call Offats Cove. It's originally named Offats Bayou which makes no sense what so ever to me and I'm sure others have thought that as well. So I officially call it Offats Cove which sounds a lot better. I was actually paddling around in a kayak on a Saturday morning and these sailboats were out having some fun.
The sea wall can be seen in this painting. It's pretty big about 10' or so in most areas. Some areas the sand is pretty built up and you can easily jump down and your on the beach.
Ever heard of Chauncy Ryder before? Well I found out about this artist and I must say I like his work. He's an Early 19th century American Imppresionist and the above painting was inspired by one of his paintings. I plan on doing some larger ones of these in 20x30 range just not sure when I'll get to it like all my other projects seem to be backing up lol.
Another in the series of surfers. This is number fifteen. Wow, has it actually been that many so far. More to come. Photo reference is from Jon Steele Professional Surf photographer.
I kind of like this close up crop of the boat and may paint another version of this with more detail in it. More surf scenes coming tomorrow still working on the same wave and once done I'm starting another series using some local surfers here in Galveston. Hope your having fun viewing my paintings and leave a comment or two let me know your out there or feel free to email me.
I have some good news!! I have six new Seascape Paintings available for purchase through the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas Texas. If your around the area please drop by to see some wonderful new Seascapes in person. These are personally framed by the Gallery. They are 8x8 in size and inspired by the local surf here at Galveston Island, Texas. For directions to the Dutch Gallery click here and if your interested in purchasing by phone you can call at (214)-348-7350 ask for Pam.
Ever been really hot then get in the water and it would be really cold? This reminds me of days like that where the water is deep enough close to shore that the sun hasn't warmed it up enough.
I thought I'd add something new and put small clips of a painting to see some really cool looking brush strokes. Now I know why Vincent Van Gogh ate some of his paint.
The new wave, I'll have about 10 of these in the lineup and then I'm switching to another series of surfers here in Galveston. Photo Reference: Jon Steele Professional Surf photographer.
It's been a while since I've been able to post any new paintings. My new camera came in yesterday and the photo's are better but still need to tweek some settings to get them spot on.
