Boardwalk Afternoon- 9x12-SOLD
it was cloudy today. we're having tropical storm christobal rainbands all day so not a good day to shoot a photo of new work. so i offer you this one (from a month or so ago) that just recently sold in Atlantic Beach at my gallery called Vision Gallery right off the MHC/AB causeway. go see them when youre around that area. she has a nice mix of work and prices.

looking at blogs is a way to keep from getting tunnelvision. you look at other styles, other regions of the country and you learn alot keeping up with this cast of characters. many i have come to know and like alot even emailing about pertinent topics and i always end up learning something valuable.
so try checking out these bloggers. i guarantee you'll benefit greatly. i know i have!

Thanks for the inclusion! I've happily already been keeping up with many of the blogs you posted but have just added a few that I hadn't discovered yet to my list. I especially can't wait to look more in-depth at Susan Greaves blog.
Thanks for putting me in your top ten! Painting can have many challenges and certainly it can be hard work (especially plein air), but what joy. Looks to me that you are indeed enjoying and selling!
nice paiting, great atmosphere, makes me want to make a walk overthere!
Thank you for this bloggers list, I'll visit them!

dont you just love finding new blogs of peoples stuff that gives you inspiration. everybody has at least one thing you can glean and use to better your own work. i do yours! Susan wrote me today and sounds like a very sweet person. her underpainting method is very similar to mine and she does demos in her posts. you'll love it.

i envy your boat painting trip down the sacramento river and love what you did. reminds me of a story i heard about sargent tying his umbrella to his leg when he was painting on a boat and there was nowhere to tie it.
you do great work and love your work ethic and frequency of posting on your blog
