Two Recent 6x8's

Bateaus (work and play) 6x8- $1 auction on ebay- click here
enjoyed finishing the boat painting above. its 100 here in carolina and when i finished this around noon i jumped in the water and cooled off. thats one thing neat about painting around the water in the summer. youre never far from a place to get wet.

heres my other favorite place to get wet.....

liked the shadows on the little cottage just steps from the new river which leads out to the ocean a few miles from where this was painted. cool area with shrimpers, crabbers and commercial fish houses all over.
i like hot weather but am praying for a bit of a cool down. i dont like when the sweat runs down the middle of my back in the middle of a paint stroke.

Dig the painting of the cottage. Looks like you found a good spot to set up there.
And in that photo too. That is some sky color.

thanks frank

i love painting these old beach cottages. so much history and many have lost their battle with the sea.
