"Walk Along the Beach" - 5" x 7" - Oil on board SOLD














Another painting taken from an afternoon I spent on Lake Huron up in East Tawas, Michigan. One of the elements of this painting that I loved painting the most was the little girl, with her happy little step. The day was prime, with full sunlight and blue skies -- ideal for a painter's palette. That day, my camera was going nonstop, and I couldn't wait to sit down and paint the images I saw!

"After the Swim" - 5" x 7" - Oil on board SOLD














What struck me about this scene when I saw it in real life, were the colorful swim suits these three girls were wearing, and that awesome candy cane towel. The gracefulness of their poses was a dream to paint, and I truly had a blast with this one. Click on the picture to see a larger, detailed image.
