Carribean Memory



















Oil on linen    14" X 20                                                                      Buy it Now
This is another painting done from memory. I am just as interested in the
abstract qualities of the piece as I am in trying to reproduce reality. I am
also trying to create some subtle color harmonies, which is always an
absorbing challenge.
Thanks for visiting.

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.
