Oil on canvas 10"X10"

The first time I saw a flounder I thought, perhaps God also makes mistakes. The first time I heard someone say they were going to "gig" for flounder, (being an aggie), I gave them a thumbs up.

whoop?

Ethridge Seafood and Yellowfin (SOLD)

This is the back side, or rather, the waterfront side of Ethridge Seafood Co. in Wanchese, NC. One of the new worries for the local fishing and boating industry is, due to spending cuts, the US Army Corps. of Engineers will stop dredging Oregon Inlet. This has happened before and eventually dredging of the canal is resumed. If Oregon Inlet is not dredged regularily it will eventually close of its own accord. Oregon Inlet is the only inlet into the inland waters of the sounds from Rudee's Inlet in Virginia Beach to Ocracoke Inlet.  You can imagine what that would mean to boats like The YellowFin. Check it out on googlemaps.

 I like this one and I am starting to like the slick surfaces of panels.Thanks for looking

Hurry Sundown (SOLD)

?Que Me Importa

A lot of things about my "studio" suck. The natural lighting is poor, and it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The views of the late afternoon sun across Ablemarle Sound, and Avery Pond and the marsh islands on the west side  is not one of those things.

What do I care?

 The sunset last night was amazing.

Sunset Babies (SOLD)

 I love this subject and I feel it does capture a moment in time and perhaps memories of a warm summer day along the outer banks of north carolina.

When I was thinking about a name for this painting of babies playing in the surf at sunset and dogs and The Nags Head Fishing Pier as a back drop, well, the first thing that popped into my head was,.......... of course,

 "SUNSET BABIES (ALL GOT RABIES)".

This must be what Alice Cooper was singing about.

Oil on canvas 36"X24"

Putting on Luminaires (SOLD)

New Moon (SOLD)

I took the reference photo I used for this painting last fall. It was not after I had cropped it and printed it and had the painting half finished that  I looked at the photo of the sky and almost invisible was the new moon directly in the center of my sky.

I am quite pleased with this painting of the Kitty Hawk Pier at sundown.

Air Dry (SOLD)

I have done about 20 pencil sketches of cormarants  in order to learn the subject as best as I could and then I started with an abstract painting below and painted this. I love the random effects and try to leave something of the painting below.

Barge Landing Breakdown

This has a rather somber feel. This is a scene from the barge landing in Kitty Hawk, NC. Yep, little old Kitty Hawk North Carolina has its very own barge landing. You may wonder what that might mean to you, or me, or whomeven is having a breakdown, for that matter. I just like the way the 3 words sound together, "Barge Landing Breakdown".

Abstracted by my Lamb (NFS)

this one was just fun and loose and it almost looks like a lamb.

Oil on canvas 12"X16"

This painting was a gift for a close friend and patron.

oh yellow I shutter

I have always liked the yellow shutters on this oceanfront home in Kill Devil Hills with its obvious addition. It is sort of a landmark or visual punctuation if you will and I'd bet it is a grand place to spend a summer vacation.

Thank you all for coming to my blog and saying nice things to me.

If you would like to buy this painting, that would be nice too.
