Sailboat in St. Marys Harbor

...................This painting came from a recent trip to St. Marys and Cumberland Island Georgia. I realized after I got home and was looking at my photos that the name of this boat was "The Red Witch". The color caught my eye and the composition of the marsh grass and shadows seemed paint worthy. "Red Witch in St. Marys Harbor" is an 11 x 14 oil on panel and is available.

Back to Cumberland Island

From earlier reference shot on Cumberland Island, GA. It was evening and the colors were becoming subdued in the lower light. I had a good time with the change in values. Note how dark the "white" sand is. Calling this one "Evening's Palette". 16x20. May be for sale later.

Cumberland Morning

Scene from Cumberland Island, GA. Beautiful place...wonderful light. This is an 11x14 oil on panel.

Timucuan progress

Progress continues on the Cumberland Island Timucuan village painting. I hope to be mostly finished within a week or two. Lots of detail still to be added as well as figures and shore activity that haven't even been added yet. 4'X6'

Prehistoric Cumberland Island

Early stages of a large painting for Cumberland Island Nat Park. 6'X4' will be full size of the painting...details shown here. Scene is a Timucua Indian village from the Northwest shore...daily life shown. An earlier post showed photograph of site and early thumbnail.

Cumberland studies

Here's a couple of 11X14 color studies of Cumberland Island scenes. I'm also doing several figurative studies at this size. It's a good size to work out some ideas and see what may translate well into larger works.
