NAUTICAL SKETCH

For this sketch by the water, my quest for color is the starting point. I'm trying to convey a cloudy & humid summer day with purple & aqua. The fact that this was done in a sketchbook, means I can be loose & not fuzz with the painting. Sometimes we learn more by not getting attach to our work.

SEASCAPE

Buddle up for this last chance to do some painting by the water...

SEASCAPE COLLAGE

Balancing beach walks & work...anytime I can be in nature, looking at stars, feeling ocean air, & a little painting makes for a grand day!

STORMY DAY

this is the calm before the storm, definately not a day to be on the water...

SUMMER SUNRISE

Sometimes, my ramblings are very well plan. Catching the right lighting is a big part of my painting process. Other times, inspiration to get my sketchbook out is pure serendipity with a bit of luck.
