Isaiah 51:15 "For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea, and its waves roar (the LORD of hosts is His name).

This little piece is done on a small, gallery-wrapped canvas, and is a stormy eyeful of noisy ocean waves advancing toward the viewer.  Painting art you can hear is way too much fun!

Franconia Notch in March

 

Franconia Notch in March

10 in. x 10 in., acrylic on canvas    

$140 unframed 

For people from New Hampshire, this is a familiar stretch of Interstate 93 as it narrows into the single-lane, divided Franconia Notch Parkway, approaching the trailhead parking sign.  Imposing Cannon Mountain looms ahead, hemming you in from the west as you slip into The Notch (called a 'pass' or 'gap' for all you non-New Englanders) between Cannon Mountain and Mount Lafayette on the east.  Rock slides pepper the southern face of Cannon here, and the almost monochromatic palette winter brings to the White Mountains creates a moody, intimidating sensation as your eye sweeps up the side of the massive granite dome.  For those of us who live here, we often say that The Notch has it's own weather system.  Ominous clouds like what you see here brooding on the top of Cannon cliff as you round the bend are the norm, sometimes even on the sunniest days either end of the parkway.

Myrtle Beach - SOLD (Commission)

 

Myrtle Beach (commission)

12 in. x 24 in., acrylic on canvas    

The collector who commissioned this piece owns a couple of other pieces of mine depicting some of her favorite spots along the cooler, northern Atlantic beaches, but wanted to add this serene painting of a quiet length of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.  The piece is warmed by a yellow ochre underpainting which you can't see, but which heats up the intense blue of the sky on the day the buyer snapped the reference photos.  Without the gold underneath, the painting would lack the feel of the warm temperatures and the yellow sunlight in a setting dominated by cool blues and greens.
