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

San Diego Light house

San Diego Lighthouse
Acrylic on Canvas. 16' x 20"  A very nice little lighthouse to paint.    I really enjoyed painting this one. Photo provided by Matt Pitts.
Matt Pitts: "The Old Point Loma lighthouse was active from 1855 to 1891. The lighthouse is located at the tip of Point Loma on the far side of the San Diego Bay. It was decommissioned due to the fog and low lying clouds that are well known in the area. A newer lighthouse was then located closer to the water on the very tip of Point Loma. It is now part of the Cabrillo National Monument. Point Loma was also used during WW II as a watch point for Pacific defense. The lighthouse and the keepers house are both open for viewing."  Visit my Fine Art America for a canvas reproduction.  Sold

All saints Episcopal Church

All Saints Episcopal Church

This a from a photo that pops took. It it is All Saints Episcopal Church, San Diego, California, USA. He took it while he was visiting San Diego. I believe that is the church they were married in. 16 X 20 Acrylic on canvas. Sorry everyone, I had put the wrong name down and had to fix it.  NFS

Border Collie home

Bill's House
This was a commission by Bill. Acyclic on framed Canvas. This is a photo I took from my camera phone.  Once it is framed I will get a better picture of it.  My favorite part of this painting is the shadows.  That being said it was also the most difficult part.   Creating a sense of three dimension with most of the light direction coming from the top and front was daunting.   I still needed to give it strong light from the front give it a balance of light.  If I used too much shadows it would have been too dark and look like a big dark spot in the middle of the painting.  This way I could orchestrate focal points to let eye have pleasure of movement and dance in a static object. I hope you all enjoy.  Sold

Indian house boat river


Arcylic on canvas 16" X 20"
This was inspired by samit and Whitney's trip to India. The picture Samit took on the river is art all by itself. I could do little to improve the impact the picture had. For me it was an excercise in distance made by layering planes of water and trees while still maintaing the intergrity of the picture and detail. I also just love an orange sunset and sometimes painting it makes me feel like I was there myself. Sold
