Steel and Sand

 9" x 12" Oil on canvas

Another one from Pensacola, another old truck on Navarre Beach. 

Shade & Glory

 9" x 12" Oil on canvas panel

We've were fortunate to spend some time in Pensacola in February and I took this picture on a walk after church on one Sunday morning. I liked the challenge of the truck in shade in the foreground with the cool frame house awash in light in the background. 

Pensacola Beach

 

9"x12" Oil on canvas panel

This is one I painted last month while we were in Pensacola, FL. We visited the beach a couple times but on the day I took the reference picture for this painting it was super cold and windy so the beach was empty. I loved the desolation, emptiness versus the bright colors of the image.

Shimmer

 

9" x 12" oil on canvas panel

I've been busy with commissions and not been able to post. Shimmer has been on the easel for a while; something was just bugging me about it. I adjusted a couple of the edges on the floatie and added some warmth to the pattern on the floor of the pool and now the painting is sitting better with me.
