"Around the Bend"

Not one of my usual, but boy was it fun.  In order to avoid the "artist block"  I decided to have some fun and approach this painting with a less is more attitude and one large-ish brush.  I didn't worry about the outcome, just let the passion for painting lead the way.  Most times I try to keep this equation in my daily painting but sometimes it is easier said than done.

"Glider"

6"x6" oil on primed art panel

Today, I spent more time trying to figure out what to paint than the time it finally took me to paint this.  I felt like I was on a tightrope balancing over the dreaded artist block.  I am now exhausted mentally (I am always tired physically, I have 3 teens and a toddler).  I hope the "block" doesn't strike again tomorrow, blech!

Have a good night!

"Through the Cracks"

6"x6" oil on primed panel

Since I began this blog in 2006, I have always struggled with photographing my paintings to achieve their truest likeness for online viewing.  Over the years I have had some comments from patrons that they are pleased and find the painting to look even better in person.  I know monitors and screens vary slightly from one to the next, but I am working on the lighting in order to get my photos clearer and not so dim. 

I have made improvements on many images in my existing posts.   If you have read this far, thank you, and please feel free to have a "Better Look" at my gallery of artwork.  There are different options for viewing located at the right. 

There are still quite a few older paintings that could have better photo representation that I have not worked on yet, but will soon.

The gorgeous waters on the Honolulu shoreline last November.  I could see the inspiration of the vintage Hawaiian art when I stood on the beach with the calm tradewinds, I couldn't wait to paint this.

"Flip-Flops"

8"x8" oil on primed masonite panel

Please note the larger size on today's painting.  I went to my studio and reached for my stack of 6x6" panels and had none prepared.  I would have to prep some boards or grab what I had available so that I could paint today.  Whoops!
