Pink at Night

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas
To purchase please visit my Etsy store

Wow - pink! I almost never paint, or wear, or use the color pink, but I have been thinking about this painting for a while and love the peaceful feeling the pink adds to the calm end of the day on the water. The pink in the actual painting is even a bit brighter than this photo depicts. The location is somewhat loosely based on a scene in Kittery, Maine. I am very much looking forward to visiting this lovely state in just over a week!!

Where's the Hammock?

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

Although summer is here is upstate NY, it's never too late to dream of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. This scene is from a quiet beach in the Grenadines, and seems to beg you to take a walk, or a seat, or a nap. The blues are so relaxing that we just painted our bedroom a similar color in anticipation of a quietly sleeping new baby.
