A Matagorda Beach Sunrise Oil Painting

This one was finished yesterday.  I painted it in oils on a gallery wrapped canvas.  The challenge of the contrasting values in the daybreaking light was fun.   I plan to do some larger canvases of ocean scenes as I really like to paint water movement.  Painting a scene puts me there while I am at the easel.
I hope you like this one.  Email me if you wish to purchase.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse Oil Painting 20x16 Inches Canvas

I finished the Yaquina Head Lighthouse painting today.  The lighthouse is about 90 foot tall to tip top, the light is at 81ft above ground and 162 ft above sea level.  It is a magnificent tower sitting high on a cliff overlooking the sea.  I want to express thanks to my good neighbor Gary that gave me some great pictures from their vacation for reference material.  The sky and the lighthouse is painted with a more realistic smooth brush strokes and the cliff foreground has texture with an impressionistic look.  The painting is 20x16 on stretched canvas and done in oils.  I hope you like it.  Email me if you are interested in purchasing this one or any of my other paintings.  Those that have sold are usually in print.
