Seaside Cave

This is a new painting I started working on earlier this week. Its 16″x20″. I’ve been doing some paintings focused on water recently, but I think I enjoy painting the rocks more so I wanted to do something focused on rock formations. I’ll just go quickly through the process of the painting so far. I […]

Finished Painting, Rising Tide

This is a small, 12″x12″ painting I have been working on sort of in between working on my slightly larger paintings for the last week or 2.

Crystal Cove Painting, Part 2

Moving into Oils

So I haven’t been posting so much lately because I’ve starting painting with oil paints again recently. Today I’m just going to show 2 paintings I started yesterday. These paintings are based off some photos I took over the weekend at Crystal Cove State Park, California. Both are on 16″x20″ canvas. I thought I’d start […]
