New Painting - Ocean Grove Moonrise

 Ocean Grove NJ is my favorite beach on the Jersey Shore. I love the Christian history and vibe of it and is one of the sources of my paintings. This one is inspired by a photo a friend Cheryl Scoles took from the balcony of the Ocean Grove Retreat Center. One of the landmarks of Ocean Grove the Cross on the beach by the Boardwalk Pavillion but is 100 yards or so south of the Retreat Center. So in the spirit of Bob Ross's credo of   "You can do anything you want to do. This is  your world" I relocated the view as if there was building with a porch behind the pavillion. I tried to include the beach snack shack. Not thoroughly happy with it the results but it's a nice scene. As usual

                                                                                      

New painting: Sunrise Journey begins

 Facebook is full of many photos that can be used as subjects for paintings. Usually I ask permission to use is as I did in this case it was on the Laura Zamfirescu page. I like doing sunrises and sunsets and this was a massively orange picture. The photo image copies very different colorwise as toned  down. It was vertical and I like doing horizontal so had to enlarge it a bit. As ususal, you can get items with this image on it via pixels

New Painting - Waves at Sunset

 In an effort to expand my artistic talents, I have been watching other artist's reels on Facebook showing how to paint waves, auroras and other subjects that I have not tried yet.
