Underwater wonderland, Coral Reel Seascape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD
I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings. I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".
While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat. I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos. I did love the trip out and the trip back. I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.

Cow Oil Painting, Cow Portrait, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14" Oil on Linen, SOLD
A client wanted a cow painting, for licensing purposes. I usually do daily painting of still life or landscape, but I have to admit I enjoyed both the horse, they originally chose, and this cow painting.
I painted on Senso linen canvas. I had a pad of the linen around for several years but didn't really know what to do with it. I found it had a different texture than the cotton canvas I usually paint on, but once I got into the painting, it was fine.
My next problem was what to do with this unstretched painting. After surveying several friends, I mounted it on a cradled wood panel. I was told the perfect glue to use is YES GLUE available at craft stores. I had some in my stash and I have to say it worked like a charm. Then I trimmed the edges with a exacto knife and it turned out perfectly. Now I can use the rest of my Senso linen canvas with no fear!
So, today I stretched my limits, both with the Senso canvas and the cow painting, and luckily both worked out for me!
This is a re-post, and the cow has been sold. However, if you are interested, giclee prints are available on canvas and wood planks, in the size of your choice. Contact me for pricing.
I am having a BIG sale on Etsy! 40% OFF ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS. Check it out here!

A Painting Workshop to Remember!
Today, I am repeating a post, from a few years ago. I think it is worthy of your attention, again. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, my friends Carmen and Donna and I drove to Fernandina Beach, FL to attend a 4 day workshop with Elio Camacho. Elio is one of my favorite painters and my very favorite instructor and I have been lucky enough to attend with workshops twice a year for the past three years.
I started each day with this beautiful sunrise over the ocean, while eating breakfast at the hotel.
This is one of Elio's 36x48" demos that he paints in just three hours!
Here Elio met a challenge to paint without darks. He often states a painting should bring it's own light. I think this one meets that requirement
Another of his larger than life paintings.
This was a 25 minute demo he did for us on foam core. He pushed the color even more than usual and got wild and crazy.
His brushwork is very exciting...something I am hoping to bring to my work.
Elio spent a year painting blue studies, then moved on and studied yellows and reds. He likes to set up still life, to challenge his students, all in a single color. He believes red is the most difficult color to paint. If you can do a red painting, you can really see color. This was a 20 minute demo he did for us.
We hated to leave the workshop after 3.5 intense and fun days. To console ourselves, we had a final lunch of fried shrimp at our favorite eatery.
A final photo of Carmen and Donna, de-stressing with ice cream in front of Island Art Association. We thank the members for hosting us once again. Then we hop into our car for the drive home.
One last classic Elio demo that he painted in about 15 minutes, out of his head. I almost cried when he scrapped it off the next morning.
Needless to say, we are excited to return for his next Florida workshop in the spring. You can find his workshop schedule here.

I spent the winter in Florida, and came home inspired! I loved walking on the beach and observing the many types of birds. I had the picture in my mind.....
