"Guppies"

5"x 5" oil on canvas, SOLD

"Pool Shark"

8"x 6" oil on canvas, SOLD

I love painting water. I know I've mentioned that before but it bears repeating. I love how you have to paint water abstractly in order for it to look real-ish. And pool water is such an outrageous, acid blue color compared to ocean water. Skin tones look other-worldly in pool water--aqua blue reflections on little sunburned faces in strong, mid-day sunlight. One of my favorite subjects. I have a few more of these water babies up my sleeve!

"Water Sprite"

8"x 6" oil on canvas, SOLD

This is the sixth in the Beach Baby series. I love painting these funny little urchins in the water and on the beach. If you want to have some fun with this one, hum the theme song to "Jaws" while you think about how lovely it would look hanging in your family room! And then visit MY EBAY STORE where it is up for auction. A multi-sensory experience.

"I Once Was A Mermaid"

5"x 5", oil on canvas, SOLD

This is another painting in the Beach Baby series. It's always challenging to paint water and especially water with people and fish submerged in it--or in this case, half submerged. I had fun with the reflections on the face and painting the three little fish (the other two are swimming on the side of the canvas). Since you can't see her tail, you'll just have to trust me that she really is a mermaid!
