This beautiful contemporary sunset nature painting was created using layers of glazing in order to give this contemporary painting a luminous look and feel. This breathtaking sunrise painting is based on a Jekyll Island trip we took. The sunlit trees and grasses illuminate and reflect in the glistening water in this landscape painting.

Jekyll Island provides a lot of inspiration for landscape and plein air paintings as much of the island is not developed. I was fascinated by the miles of beautiful beaches and marshes. We took some time to take a stroll in the village shopping area by the Jekyll Island Club in the historic district. We also visited some old ruins on the island too! I am sure that one of my next paintings will be of one of the beaches with the beautiful large driftwood found on Driftwood Beach. We also enjoyed a day trip to St. Simons Island where we found quaint shops and restaurants by the bay.

I enjoy exploring and painting coastal scenes. I have plenty of photos to keep me busy and next time, I will stay longer so I can do some more plein air paintings!

Painting Edges of three New Coastal Paintings

I put my last three oil paintings in an assembly line to paint the sides. I often take over the dining room table to perform this task. The painting in the middle is based on our trip up to Watercolor Beach, FL with Chula, our dog. I think I will call it "I Only Have Eyes for You". John was focused on Chula and not the beautiful woman who rode by on the sunlit sidewalk next to a stream. I knew when I took this photo, that I would capture that moment on a canvas one day. I miss our little Chula. She loved to go on trips with us. I also painted this glistening waterlily painting based on a Florida marsh at sunset. The carnival of colors are delightful and memorizing. I am a big fan of Monet and can see his influence in the way I paint my waterlily paintings. I remember visiting an art museum and admiring one of his waterlily paintings. I asked the curator why the edges still had white canvas showing and remarked that it looked unfinished. She said that Monet

Sunrises and Sunsets: My Next Chapter

Sunrises and sunsets are my favorite subjects to take photographs of and paint. They signify a brand new start and a closing of a chapter. I have started a new chapter in my life! My husband and I have moved back to Texas after leaving over 20 years ago. I enjoyed living in South Carolina for a several years but spent the last 20+ years in Florida. It is great to be back in the Rio Grande Valley by family and were we were both raised. I was also very fortunate to be able to continue my long career in higher education in Texas where I work for a university. As I turn the chapters in my life, I will share my love for paintings, nature and living well on this blog! Living well to me means being a good steward of God's gifts, for the good of others to glorify and praise God. I have enjoyed sharing my paintings over the years and am excited about painting new places in Texas. I have yet to unpack from our move, and will leave my art supplies in boxes until we find our perm
