Blue Water Gem, new boat painting

Blue Water Gem

24, x 18

oil on gallery wrap canvas

We found this little white wooden fishing boat on one of our trips

to St Maarten Island. The blue water reflected the colors of the boat 

beautifully and the water was so clear that the boat also had shadows in the shallow water.

I loved the red wood trim and interior of the boat. I think that's what drew me to it!

Had to paint it!

Toogoodoo 365 painting

It's early fall and I'm out fishing with Bruce on one of my favorite creeks. 

Oyster Creek, a little creek tributary off the Toogoodoo Creek.

I'm sure that is not the real name but that's what we call it because there are tons of oyster beds 

in the creek and there is an oyster farm towards the end of it. 

It was late afternoon and the sun was starting to go down. 

The fishing was slack so I pulled out the paints. Got a good start on it there 

but the gnats came out so had to put the finishing touches on the painting in my studio. 

But before this, the fishing was good!

5 Reds (Spot Tail Bass) and 2 Trout

And then.... the tide slacked out and the fish stopped running 

so I pull out my snacks and paints!

A good day on the Toogoodoo!

Palette knife painting of the creek and marsh as the dark gray, purple, pink clouds 

crept their way in, just before the rain came! 

The dark sky made for some pretty greens in the marsh and trees.

July 13, 2015, Hazy Morning

5 x 7 oil on canvas panel, unframed
This morning, there was a cloudy haze across the creek, almost fog like but not quite. But wait, there's no smog out here, so yes, it was fog. By the time I set up to paint en plein air, it was almost 10 AM and most of the foggy haze was gone except for the way back of the field. The summer greens were starting to brighten up and the birds came out.

The creek was at low tide and the afternoon sun was glowing purple in the
