Memory of Chicoteague

Oil on Linen laid down on board                                                    14" x 20"
I actually started this painting several years ago as part of a series that I have
yet to complete. It was meant to be part of a triptych. It was painted mostly
from memory, so that accounts for its very simplified treatment of certain
aspects of the composition. But I like it, and it conveys, for me, what I felt
was the delicate beauty of the marshes and the sky.

Oil on linen-covered panel, 5' X 7"

I really enjoyed doing this painting on linen panel today. I have
painted this composition before in gouache, and I'm happy with
the way it came out in oil. More colors, more complex water in
some ways. It is fun to make it up using what I know and remember.
Things like this aren't always successful, but it's a wonderful feeling
when it is.

Oil on Belgian Linen, 3.84" x 7.15"

I decided to paint on some of my canvas today for a change. The
texture of the Belgian Linen is so fine - it is just beautiful. It was
a nice change to work with bristle brushes instead of soft hairs.
Thanks for visiting.
