Coastal Beach Paintings

Artist’s Notes

When on day trips or beach outings I sometimes travel with my “plein air” supply’s not always though….. sometimes a coastal scene grabs you and you simply take a chance to jot down a quick sketch and some color notes. The notes inform a small study, or sketch and when these are interesting sometimes they become larger works of art, back at the studio.

Large Works of Art

Yes sometimes proportions change or ..I change the color. The paint decides – its called ‘artistic license’. Some artists grid out the canvas and go for an exact replica – that’s OK too – not me, I ….”jump over the hedge and into a bed of crocodiles” – (A teacher of mathematics told me that years ago – my family thought it hilarious and have quoted it to me over and over)

While I learned the calculated approach works better for mathematics – Luckily in painting the spontaneous “go for it” approach allows fun and creativity to grow, its a good attribute – so I say – go with the flow and allow each work to become its own thing.
