September Air - SOLD

September Air
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"

I used the same reference as yesterday, but I had a lot more room to play.
Or at least if felt like a lot more room. Didn't it turn out nicely?

The Leading Edge of Fall - SOLD


The Leading Edge of Fall
Oil on Linen Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Yesterday I struggled with another beach person, but I hated the result, it just didn't have any oomph to it. I think the colors were too pale, I was too shy about it all.  I think you'll see what I mean, below. I am waiting for her to dry, and then I'll go at it with some vigor, and some richer color (at least that's the plan.) Maybe put some water behind her as well. Too much sand.

Dude, I Got This! - SOLD

Dude, I Got This!
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
Sold to his Opa (Dutch for Grandpa)

Detail (Close-Up) Below:

This is Logan, with the supreme confidence of  a spectacular 2-yesr old! He was "leading" a big, lovable dog around the house during a gathering of beach house friends. The hound was, of course, twice as big as he was, but "Dude! I Got This", with that sweet casual lean, little foot tweaked and resting. He's extremely verbal, so no trouble relating to anyone.

Oil on Linen Panel, 8" x 8"

I actually paddled in the red kayak, Yay, me!
I thought it would be harder than it was. Fun memories.
