Oil on panel, 12″ x 12″ framed in custom white floater frames.
I painted this one yesterday in one shot. I never intended it to be this minimal, but something is telling me to stop. This photo was taken under studio lights, unfortunately. It’s been a dark and rainy week here. Colors used: Italian yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, burnt umber and titanium zinc oxide. All Williamsburg brand paints.

When my husband and I visited Oahu recently, this gorgeous Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle came up on the beach. We were about the first people to see him and I got a few photos before the naturalist roped off the area. It was interesting to learn that this particular turtle often comes ashore to rest on this beach. Such a special moment to see this creature in the wild!

This painting was inspired by the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan which is about a mile from where I live. It could be any large body of water, really…. I loved the challenge of painting the waves and giving movement to them. I am happy with the outcome and I can feel the fresh air when I look at this.
I used just Chromatic black (Gamblin) plus white this time to make 4 shades of this blue-green-grey color. This was painted over a Portland grey (Gamblin) underpainting so some of that warm grey color is showing through especially in the lower left corner.
One wave moving toward shore… a progression.
