On the Waterfront

The sun was intense and way too bright reflecting off of a vast body of water while  trying to see what shapes dotted the distant horizon line.

Beach Feather Painting Studies

This winter on a trip to Florida, I found that there were many bird feathers scattered all over the beach.  With so many different seabirds and other land birds that reside in this region, I simply could not identify who's feather belonged to who?  Each day there, I would sit down in the sand to do an hour study in watercolor on paper or in acrylic on canvas board.  Below are a mix of photographs and six of my painting studies.

Dealing with angles in a composition on a city street

In this series of photographs, I am trying to keep my sidewalk and top left building lines from ending directly into each corner where I feel my eye travels off the frame on the left top and bottom.  Because of this, I spend little time observing the distance and right side of walkway, loosing the overall landscape of the picture  What I have here are four frames taken of the same view and below I have cropped each piece for a better composition.
Below are the four images which I have cropped in my attempt to get the best composition out of this group of pictures....please let me know what one of these you feel is the best composition.

    I feel as if my artwork gives the viewer an insight into my life's journey.  This is most evident in a plein air painting, where I can reflect back to a time and location.  My sketchbooks tell a different story of thoughts and ideas scribbled within my drawing and painting studies.
