Small Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Churning", 6x8" Oil SOLD

This small seascape is a study for a much larger piece.  The only question in my mind is "How large?"

SOLD

I am very happy with the understated color which makes the brighter hues really pop.  I am not sure if it would be call an abstract or impressionistic.......what do you think?

What I do know, I really enjoyed painting it and want to try it again and go BIG!

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Small Seascape, "Green Wave" 6x8" Oil SOLD

My husband retired recently, and we find ourselves walking on the beach quite regularly these days.  I always take my camera because you never know when that perfect scene will be spread out at your feet.  On those days I go without it, I always see multiple "perfect scenes".

SOLD

I have to remind myself, that seeing the perfect scene, and getting an image of it are two different things.  Usually, when I look in my viewfinder, the sun is in my eyes, or some such distraction, and I just click away in frustration, unable to see what I am pointing at.

I enjoy the trip again when I return home and download the images.  Usually I find at least a few that have possibilities.

I am sure by now all you plein air painters are horrified, but I have always been a studio painter and always will be.  I did TRY to do plein air, but  find it is a whole different ballgame.  I have great respect for anyone who can climb a mountain with a 36x48 canvas strapped on his back.......just cannot see me doing it!


Enjoy the day.........

Daily Painting, Seascape Painting, 6x12" The Sea by Carol Schiff SOLD

If you follow my daily painting blog, you know I visit the ocean on a regular basis

SOLD

I am always amazed at the changes of color I find in the waves.

I never know which kind of sea I will find when I go to the beach.  Smooth and gentle, crazy and wild, dull or sparkling.  Hmmmmm, much the same as my painting experiences.  Smooth and everything drops into place like magic, frustrating or total failure when I feel like it is the very first time I picked up a brush, fresh and clean or the dreaded OVERWORKED!

Happy Painting!

The black clouds moved in quickly and the sea began to change.  There was a small strip of light on the water close to the horizon.

Seascapes and Boats

Tranquil, Oil on panel, 9 in. x 7 in.

I continue to work on plein air seascapes, and I keep looking for locations with boats. This was painted on a very tranquil, cool morning. It was the first time that I was able to keep painting outside for several hours without wilting from the heat. The light on the water and on sides of the boats is what attracted me the most while I studied this scene. My website is at Sharon Guy Art.

Plein Air Painting at Dusk

Last Moments Before Dark, Oil on canvas, 14 in. x 11 in, by Sharon Guy

One of the best times to be hanging around at the beach in Florida is at sunset. I feel lucky to be able to enjoy so many of these beach sunsets. There is a period of time after the sun sinks behind the ocean and before it gets too dark to see. As I painted this on site, the horizon was still light and people looked like silhouettes. As always with plein air painting, I had to paint quickly while the light kept changing, and rely on memory. By the time I was mostly finished, I had barely enough light to work. I made a few touch-ups later in my studio. There was very little color to work with because it was cloudy, so I created a mood with various shades of grey. For more of my art visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.

Another View of the Gulf

View From the Dunes, Oil on Panel, 9 in. x 7 in. by Sharon Guy

Last Sunday I found a nice view from a wooden platform on the North end of Siesta beach. It had a bench I could sit on, and plenty of room for my easel. I was working on a small panel, so I did an impressionist style soft-edged painting. The Gulf water has a jewel-like color in the early morning. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful there in the morning, and I tried to capture that mood in this painting. For more plein-air painting visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.

The White Sandy Beaches of Southwest Florida

White Sand, Siesta Key, Oil on canvas, 14 in. x 11 in. by Sharon Guy

The white sandy beaches of Southwest Florida are stunning, especially Siesta Beach. I painted this en plein air, while standing in the shade of the blue tower at the north end of the beach. The heat and humidity forced me to quit earlier than I wanted, but I had painted fast and was satisfied with what was on the canvas. The curve of the beach with the dunes and grasses make a nice composition. Finally, the clouds are thinning and I have some intense, tropical colors to paint. My website is at Sharon Guy Art.

Seascape Art from Florida

Casey Key Beach, Oil on panel, 7 in. x 5 in.

This is one of two paintings I did on Labor Day at the North Jetty at Casey Key. I look forward to returning to that area again. I saw many scenic views that I would like to paint. I never get tired of painting the white sand and the blue-green water of Southwest Florida. I hope the light will be brighter next time - I've been painting lots of grey clouds during this rainy season, and miss the tropical colors that Florida is famous for. My website is at Sharon Guy Art.
