Marsh Scene SOLD

Just adding this to show that I can do "marsh" scenes, too. I had a few
requests for more local art - this one was done several years ago, a custom
painting for a favorite customer.

Fishing Boat 5x7 Oil $150

We see these all the time on our coast - they are always interesting and colorful.
I happened to be near Manteo when I sketched this boat.

Calm Before the Storm 18x24 Oil $550

This was a favorite scene on the beach in St. Martin near Orient Beach. This little red boat withstood all kinds of weather (and I never saw anybody take it for a ride!) The stormy sky appeared at Mullet Bay, but I decided to use my artistic license and place it behind this boat.

Whoa Boy! We Won!-16x20 -Not priced yet

I just painted this after visiting the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville, where I attended a business meeting. This place is fantastic. For only $40 one can attend, roam the back lots where all the owners, trainers, and jockeys are - or view from the infield where all the crazy crowds go. The museum is fantastic! One can get on a mechanical horse and "reality race", watch videos of lots of famous winners over the years, etc. I didn't know that Sea Biscuit and Man 'O War never raced in the Derby!!!This was my first semi-attempt to paint something a little abstract. What fun!

SURFER GIRL - 20X16 - OIL - $800


While in St. Martin in 2010, I photographed a young girl getting ready to "test the waters". She was eyeing an oncoming storm and trying to decide whether to jump in. I painted this a year later after Wrightsville Beach had ther Wahini surfer contest - just got inspired by those energetic girls riding the waves! Looks like such fun!!
