Abstract Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Mountain Walk, 6x8" Oil on Panel
I came back from a walk in the Blue Ridge Mountains, inspired by the bright summer colors. Flowers were evident around every turn.
I love abstract, but find them very difficult. I have to have a starting point, some type of inspiration, some plan of composition. Often I end of scraping off hours of work.
This is one of the few that appeals to me. I felt good about it and still think it conveys the emotions I was feeling at the time. I mark this one as a success for me.

Abstract Sea Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x16x.75" Oil, SOLD
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occasion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

Underwater wonderland, Coral Reel Seascape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD
I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings. I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".
While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat. I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos. I did love the trip out and the trip back. I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.

Palette Knife Paintings and Technique
The most enjoyable experiences, I get out of painting, almost always involves a palette knife. I may start out with a brush in hand, but eventually the knife takes over.
This was my first experience. I started on a canvas with a half finished painting. One I had lost interest in ever finishing.
