Nags Head Pier

This was a fun little thing that happened. Almost as if it were all one big happy accident. 

It has a certain graphic quality about it. Why not?

I decided it was time to post a  beach scene. I am not sure why exactly this family caught my eye all doing something.

Again

Even in the not so early stages of an artist's career it's easy to make "The Fatal Error".

 I have done it and  I've watched you do it.  I have placed my focal point in the wrong spot or on occasion "off the canvas completely"! I have put the horizon line dead  on center of the canvas. In this example I show that I  was so worried about painting clouds that I decided on painting way too much parking lot.

Evinrudes

This was a fun thing that just seemed to appear. I like it when that happens. It did take the best of 3 days work and a while of failures before that.

Thank you.

Whitey

"Whitey" was a horse that lived on Kitty Hawk Road. He died not long ago at the ripe old age of 43.

There are bouquets of flowers on every post along the road. RIP Whitey

Thank you for looking.

Sincerely

Raw Shrimp

Look here! I have painted a pink shrimp. I  have been full time dealing with the emotional baggage of carrying on as "Rick Nilson".  I have not spent enough time here on the internet, (where I should have been all along).

Mystic Herring

 

I created this with motives undefined and against the advice of my counselor's . Also I found my tube of purple and Shirley. Mystic Herring.

I have been painting on this for what seems like forever. I stood back and looked at it and realized I had to spend more hours and I was happy to do it.

Beating my own Drum

I was doodling with a canvas and I sketched out and painted a red drum.(above)

 I thought it was pretty good. I decided to see if I could beat it. I painted a black drum.

 It was hard to top that.

The Party's Over

This is the Queen Elizabeth II berthed on Roanoake Island.

I doubt the locals knew it (the party's over) that morning looking out across the marsh.

Details (SOLD)

There is a very simple explanation for all this.

I am just not quite ready to make it known or to defend it.
