8×6 oil on canvas panel    SOLD
This is another for my ‘Umbrellas on the Beach’ series. It’s really nice working on a subject like this while a rainy cold-front is blowing outside my studio window. Once I work out the composition and the basic value pattern, I can begin to create the color relationships that evoke in me the sense of ‘being there’. Every painting is a fiction, and the fun is creating the feeling, not the fact. I hope you enjoy it, too.

  2. Thank you, Don. I’m flattered to know your eyes have appraised my painting. I think I’ve mentioned to you that I subscribe to your blog. I’m in awe of your consistency in posting, the quality and craftsmanship of your oils and watercolors and the quiet, meditative beauty that imbues your work.

  3. Jimmy, I really like this one. Probably a nice subject to work on this time of the year. Makes me want to try something like this. Barb
