Hurricane House- 6x8if you like this one contact me or Down Creek Gallery and we'll get it to you
This is an iconic ocracoke cottage called the Hurricane House because it has a blow-by-blow account of the big 1933 hurricane written on the wall. its at the end of a winding road into the cedar trees and when youre here it looks like your on a deserted island. i'm painting this with the water lapping at my feet, so you can see its right on the water. what a view!
as you can see i'm on a knife kick and having a ball.i like changing up things. i get bored easily so changing up things keeps me excited. an unexpected side benefit is that it really helps your brushwork. you have to keep it simple early on with a piece of steel and this translates to doing the block-in, if youre brushing it.

You always capture the light so perfectly, I'm really enjoying reading your blog !
Your knife paintings are awesome!
These images are all too cool, wish it wasn't a 2 day drive to NC from TX I'd be running around painting things on that island too!
These two are great! I believe you do even better with the knife than you do with your brushes --Light and color are perfect!
Mike, these two are really stunning! You know I like your work, but these 2 really jump out and grab you. I look forward to seeing more knife work.
Take good care,
Steve
