Marina Melody – Original Oil
"Marina Melody" Original Oil en Plein Air • 8x16" on Linen Panel. This was a very planned out painting. During the course of the Pacific Northwest Plein Air 2011 I had envisioned how I would approach this subject. On the day I was to paint the scene I made sure to carefully predict the sun's path and align my painting location with the optimum viewpoint. Arriving about an hour before the sun began it's light show, I was able to capture the anatomy of the scene. By blocking in all the boats, masts and their rigging first I was free to focus on the color as the sun dipped near the western horizon. I still remember the calming sound of the water lapping at the docks and the rigging chiming and clanging in the breeze. What a beautiful evening!

Kamaole II Beach
"Kamaole II Beach"
9x12 oil on panel
This Custom Framed Original is Available through Rumley Art & Frame in the King Kamehameha Hotel Kona, Hawaii (808-937-9599 | Facebook | Website | Map)
Had the wonderful opportunity to spend a day at the beach with an artist friend. We enjoyed the Maui sun and sand while we painted. So fun! On the horizon you can see Molokini Crater (World class snorkel spot) and Kahoolawe Island beyond. The dark band on the beach is where high tide and perhaps large swells from a storm had washed debris and rock onto the beach. As an artist it is fun to dissect scenes. I was mesmerized by the colors of the sand from the shadows, to the debris and then where the waves continually wiped the beach clean of footprints and blemishes. The gradients of blue to green in the ocean was also captivating!

“More Than Light” Arizona Sunrise – Fundraiser to Feed These Abandoned Horses
It all started back in April of 2011...
Recently moved to Arizona, Tanya Griffin, was blessed with 6 visitors to her desert property. All of them horses, who were very malnourished and some dangerously so. The gentle creatures were curious and desperate for food. As the sun set Tanya wasted no time to do what she could for them in the inhospitable environment that is the Arizonan desert.
That night Tanya immediately shared photos of her beautiful guests on facebook. From there, the Cowboy Magic facebook page shared one of these photos with their 140,000 fans. Somehow it came across my news feed. It moved me. I was inspired! Immediately I contacted her to get more information on them. She was struggling but doing what she could to feed them. Three of them appeared to be domestic horses who had been turned loose by their owners to fend for themselves in the desert. I decided to paint this picture depicting those six who Tanya is still striving passionately to provide for. This time of year has found that task difficult for her and making those precious ends meet is growing more and more strenuous on her already limited resources.

“Orca Sunrise” Original Oil
(Please click the image to view whole painting)
Karen Whitworth has used her passionate interpretation of light to depict this enchanting scene. Sunlight pierces through the clouds brilliantly illuminating an icy Alaskan seascape. By any other method this scene would leave the viewer feeling cold, but through her use of intense and warm colors Karen has welcomed the viewer into the warm embrace of an Alaskan sunrise. Under the icy ocean surface light dances through the depths and on the slick skin of two Orcas. The whales weave through the shafts of radiant light and around frozen bergs as they go about their day; as if this grand and brilliant sight is a daily occurrence... In Alaska, it is.
