Waiting for the Meet

Waiting for the Meet

Oil   12 x 12

 

We are fortunate enough to live about 3 miles from the site of the 1996 Olympic canoe and kayak venue,  so needless to say, those sports are pretty popular here through the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club.  Check it out at www.lckc.org .  Three of our 6 grandchildren are on a kayak team, and each spring and fall we attend their all day regatta.  It's a lot fun.  We pack a serious picnic lunch and make a festive day of it.  Our kids always take home medals which makes it even sweeter.  And there are lots of opportunities for some neat photographs with all the colorful canoes and kayaks.  I loved the colors and reflections of these boats in the water and have lots more photos for future inspiration. 

 

Have a great weekend!  I appreciate your interest in my art work.  Thank you!



Out to Lunch II

 

Out to Lunch II   Oil

12x12 on Museum Quality Panel

 

 

This painting was taken from a photo of sailboats docked in North Carolina while their owners were "out to lunch".  I couldn't resist the vivid colors reflecting in the water.  I painted this one twice with a few variances in color as birthday gifts--one for my son and daughter.  Colorful, sharp reflections in water or on a glass surface are fun and challenging to paint. Hope you enjoy the birthday present.
