Surging

 

14 inches x 11 inches 

gallery wrapped canvas oil painting 

The rise and fall of waves coming to shore

Sandy Beach

5 feet wide by 4 feet tall

Cold wax and oil on cradled hardboard

From start to finish my paintings average 6 months on my easel.  There are many layers to build the colors into the finished surface and complete the sides.  It was cold dark and snowy when thoughts of summer shimmered in my mind. 

That sandy beach has real sand added to the painting, how cool is that!
