My hope for this blog is that it will document my progression as an oil painter. While I have not studied art in a formal setting, I do study art on my own time. Each new painting is a study in color and technique, trial and error. Every second is a study in perspective.

'Pemaquid Lighthouse'
8" x 10" Oil on Canvas Panel
Sold!
This is Pemaquid Lighthouse in Maine...I started on this as practice because I didn't have anything else to paint, but it really came together nicely. It may be one of my best impressionist pieces to date. As usual, the painting looks much better in person. It's tough to tell from the photo, but I added a tiny strip of blue to the right hand side of the painting where the fence-line ends. The blue strip in the painting does not exist in my reference photo, but I think it adds a nice new dimension to the scene.
