Painting #8/52

"Low Country Palm"
16x12 Oil on Canvas

Here is the larger version of the Cumberland Island scene, as compared to the previous post. Halfway into this painting, the colors were not complimenting each other as I had hoped. So, I turned to the color wheel for advice, adjusted the hues accordingly, and finally felt a sense of harmony with the image.

Painting #7/52

Contemporary Palm
7"x5" Acrylic on Canvas
Available at Etsy.com

While standing on the coast of Cumberland Island waiting for the return ferry, I admired the sandy shore and scattered boats from the pier. It was about 4:30 and the sun was starting to descend. Even though I had already taken hundreds of pictures, this oddly shaped palm tree caught my eye, just as the north end ferry was passing behind it. That was two years ago, and this image has been rolling around in my mind since then. This small painting will soon become a larger version…

P.S.- If you happen to know the name of this palm tree, please send the information my way. I've scoured the Internet and cannot find it. Thanks for your help!

Painting #6/52

Permanent Rose
16x20 Oil on Linen

In this larger painting (as compared to the previous post), soft pink flowers were painted along the right side of the canvas and details of the main rose were enhanced. During the color selection process for the main flower, I went through several shades of red and pink before trying a tube of permanent rose. I added this pigment to each petal and it turned out to be the ideal solution for that pinkish-red glow I was trying to create.
