SUNFLOWERS and the SEA

24"x30" o/c

This painting is a collaboration of Vicki Greene and me. I did the still life part with the fruit and sunflowers and she did the beautiful sea scape which she is known for.
Our paintings are in the Chambers Gallery here in Cambria and we thought it would be fun to to something together!

So this is it, just finished today. What fun this was and we will do it again for the wine festival in January if not before!

Sea Scape

24x30 o/c This is painted after Paul Dougherty, my favorite sea scape painter. I took a few libertys with this. Had alot of fun. I am so inspired by his work. Living here by the sea I want to be able to paint it and when I study and practice I turn to Paul Dougherty.

Paul Dougherty was an American painter, 1877-1947. An oil painter, concentrating on seascapes. Born in Brooklyn NY setteling in California in 1931. He was world famous by this time.He became actively involved in the formation of the Carmel Art Association and was president in 1940. His etchings,watercolors,pastels,monotypes along with his beautiful oils of the sea are viewed in Museums all over the world.
