Perfect Spot

6" x 6"

Oil on Board

Sold

This little ocean scene sold at the last show I participated in.  Together with its new owner, we paired it with a floater frame from the Higbee collection and it really looked nice.  One of my favorite things about selling at shows is meeting the people who purchase my work.  This couple lives in the LA area most of the time but they also have a vacation cottage in Newport Beach.  They were really nice people and I so enjoyed meeting them.

Upcountry Pool

6 x 6 Oil on canvas panel.  "Upcountry" is the upcountry part of Maui where the temperatures are lower, the flowers and produce is grown and the cows graze.  It is where I lived during one phase of my life.
Ah....... the phases.........
This painting was done a few months ago.  It probably is my personal favorite (or within a few) of the 6 x 6's that I have done.  I entered it into the Randy Higbee 6" squared show but it was rejected, with 2 others chosen instead.  It's interesting to see which paintings make it into a show, which paintings win awards, which ones you gather the most comments on and which ones you personally favor.  I am so drawn to works with strong lines.  I love very abstract paintings of crops for example -  rows of grape vines or miles of agricultural land sectioned off in wonderful shapes.
Thank you for visiting!
