Flight Path, 10x8 Original Oil Painting on Canvas Panel





Suddenly the images I put on my blog don't match the ones on Etsy. Oh, Google, what did you do? Like my last post, the purples are way too intense, yet they look correct in the Etsy version, which you can see if you click on "Click to Buy" above. As Roseanne Rosanna Danna would say, "It's always something." I have manipulated this as much as I could, and there's no telling how it looks on your monitor.

Anyhow, this is a South Carolina marsh scene, and I hope you will go to Etsy to see the real colors. You don't have to buy anything. I promise. 

Is anyone else who blogs on Blogspot having this trouble?

Flight, 5x7 Oil Painting on Canvas Panel, Seascape with Bird


This shot was so lucky--it's so hard to see what you're shooting with a digital camera when facing the sun. It was early morning, and I caught this pelican flying solo right in front of the sun, as though in a spotlight. I am posting the original photo below just to prove it. Another problem with a digital camera is that photos that are facing the sun tend to darken everything around the bright light, so I added color in my painting to compensate for that. The photo is not a black-and-white shot in spite of the way it looks.
