Hubert Humphrey Causeway

Hubert Humphrey Causeway
Hubert Humphrey Causeway  as seen from Cocoa Riverfront Park in Cocoa, Florida. 16' x 20 " Acrylic on pre-stretched  A beautiful day ending at the Riverfront Park.  There were a lot of teenagers having their pictures taken with their dates before homecoming I think.   A really nice spot to sit and look at the water.   The water was a little choppy that day.  For purchasing visit my gallery at Saatchi Art.   Visit https://www.artpal.com/dbpitts to get great prices on reprints and other merchandise.

River in Helen Georgia

River in Helen Georgia
River in Helen Georgia  30" x 40 " Acrylic on Canvas.  Thank you for the picture Rachna.   I like the way water flows in rivers.  It gives you the feeling that the river is alive.  It is faster in some places and slower in others. Sometimes even appearing to stop.  To me the flow of a river is like a snowflake, you can watch it for hours and never see the same thing twice. You can Purchase here on Saachi. You can also get canvas reprints on Fine Art America and Art Pal

Magnolia Blossom

Magnolia Blossom
"Magnolia Blossom"  16x20 Acrylic on pre-stretched canvas.  Sometimes you just gotta paint a flower.  Who doesn't love site and smell of a Magnolia blossom?  This painting for me was a little tricky because there really wasn't a whole lot of color contrast in there. Mostly a lot of green and white.   Magnolia blossoms by themselves are so beautiful that there isn't much to improve on.  In any case it was just fun to paint with my new brushes.  Thanks for the birthday present Kim. Only thing better than a new tube of paint is some new brushes to break in. Visit Reprints at Fine Art America
Visit Saachi Gallery for purchasing.

Chicago Drunken Buoy

Chicago Drunken Buoy
Chicago Drunken Buoy Acrylic in Pre-stretched canvas. 16" X 20".   Thank you Rachna for the Picture.  She took this one while on a tour in Chicago.  The ship we believe is named "Windy" .  A little Chicago skyline in there.  This was a lot of fun to paint. A bit challenging as there was very little in the way of color but I still wanted a kind of hazy effect without making it look like  a bowl of oatmeal. Sold

Paul's Sunset

Paul's Sunset
Paul's Sunset 12' x 9" Acrylic on pre stretched canvas .  This is from a photo Paul Diaz posted on  FB.  If I remember right he was kayaking when he took this. I am not sure of the location.  I will have to find that out and let you know where it is.  The picture itself is worthy of a wall and frame.  I started out with this as an exercise in how light can appear almost solid when it shines through the trees and into the sky.  I might have to make this a bigger painting.  It is kinda small as that was the canvas I had and I was using my mobile paints.   It is a little small but it was fun to paint none the less.  P.S. Paul thinks it may be Berkley lake
