Nauset Light

Nauset Light

This is Nauset Light, in Eastham, MA.  Original work 16' x 20" Acrylic on pre stretched Canvas.  From a picture provided by Bonnie and Kim.  I love to paint light houses.  They are as distinct and everyone of them carries it's own personality. It is especially meaningful to me when someone has a feeling about a place and captures that in a photograph.  I just try to replicate that feeling in paint.  I hop you enjoy.   Visit my fine art America  for a canvas reproduction. Sold

Bina's Bonarie

Bina's Bonarie

    From a nice picture Rachna's cousin took while visiting there. A  Small island of Bonarie  I have to say it was hard to make this better than the picture already was.  It was a bit of selfish reasons to have something bigger on the wall to look at.   It was a lot of fun to paint this. Original work 16" x 20" Visit my fine art America for canvas reprints.

Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon

        A view of from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is a little hike from the Main parking lot towards the Village area. I think this is a common sight that a lot of people photograph. The challenge for me here was to create a sense of depth that felt like miles away and still try to maintain some sense detail. I wanted you to feel like there are cliffs and banks of rock without adding too much detail. It seemed like the more detail I added,  the more I lost in how far away it felt.  Acrylic on pre stretched canvas 22' x 30"   I hope you all enjoyed this.  David  Visit my Fine Art America

Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay

         Half Moon Bay Acrylic on pre stretched Canvas 22" x 30".  A scene of cliffs and the ocean with succulents and flower beds. The Area of Half Moon Bay.  Although this may seem like a simple painting, it was a little complicated in the composition of it.  I fought with my self to paint every plant that was there.   When I started to do that it just got too busy and uninteresting to look at.  It became more about the plants that the serenity of the ocean and sky. They all got lost.   When I used a more painterly and impressionistic method it became just about the paint and the delicate nature of the flowers was lost.   I opted for a combination of a little structure and some loose painting.  This allowed me give some layers to the scene that would have otherwise been very flat to me.   I am not sure who took the picture. I think it was either Rachna or Maria that took a picture of a scene South of San Francisco.  So thanks for the picture. I hope you all enjoy.  Visit My Fine Art America  

Snowy Duluth

Snowy Duluth

From a picture my brother Jim took of Duluth Georgia when it snowed a lot in 2017 .   Acrylic on canvas 20" x 24 ".  This was a challenging and fun painting.  It was difficult to create a sense of depth with only different layers of snow.  Visit Fine my Fine Art America    

The Fed

 

The Fed

      The Fed"  Acrylic on pre-stretched canvas.  It is from a picture my wife Rachna took of the walway in front of the Fed building in Atlanta Ga.  The picure was already amazing but I wanted to re create a cathedral like feeling that was warm and inviting and still give you the sense that you are moving down the path. 12" x 16"   Fine art America
