"TIDE"

Always a joy to go down to Balboa island and take some photos and maybe get one I would like to paint... Well! I did, I found this lonely little skiff  just bobbin in the water all tide up and no place to go.... I almost felt like taking it out but I refrained, oh well, I'll just stick to painting it.   This is a 6x6x1.5 inch oil on wood mounted to a varnished box ready for a wall in your home.  

"what do you see"

 

About two years ago, I was strolling, camera in-hand on balboa peninsula in Newport beach CA..

I was on a hunt to find something I could commit to canvas.   I shot this and that, got a yummy balboa bar  and continued looking for that just right subject.  I was just about to take the faerie back to the mainland when I almost walked by "Psychic Readings" a place that has been there for 30 years that I know of.   I did my dance with my camera and after only a hand full of photos I knew I had what would be my next painting.... This is a 40x40 oil... 

"GOOD EATS"

After almost nine hours of road with my stomach growling for some food, the idea of driving into the town that laid straight ahead was just not appealing.  Then I spotted this blinking sign on what looked like a divvy little place filled with locals was exactly what I needed.   Finding a place to park I let my noise lead me to where I had to be, "GOOD EATS" and it was at that.  Finely a miniature 6x6" painting on wood set on a varnished box so no framing is needed:  (Sold)
