Ocean Sunset 2

Ocean Sunset 2
18 x 24 acrylic on canvas

Well, I competed this seascape painting without painting over it. Added more definition to the waves and highlights which gave more movement. The dramatic sky was left untouched.
In the previous post I spoke about how I start on a project and my hands seam to take over, which leads to a totally different painting. Once the paint hits the canvas it takes on a whole new life. If this happens to you, go with the flow you may be surprised.

I'm working on a new painting! I went in a totally different
direction from the original thought and ended up with a sunset at sea. Very often I see things happening while I'm
painting and it takes me to a new place, I just go with it.
The plan was to paint a sea scape but much more ominous, surprise! Sometimes I think I have a split personality and my hands take over.
Should have this finished soon and then I'll give it another try on the other project, lol.

Frosty Moon

Frosty Moon
18 x 24 Acrylic on canvas

For all the Moon and star gazers November the full moon is known as "Frosty Moon" It's the smallest view since it is the furthest distance from the earth. Jupiter was around 10 o'clock
from the moon which I did not add to this painting.
I was standing in the middle of Walmart parking lot, drawing this scene of the clouds passing buy the moon. Even though the moon was at it's smallest the bright glow lit up the night sky.
