Primarily taken from the South Jersey Shore, this collection is my favorite. Opportunities for art topics abound as the seasons as well as sunsets and sunrises add something new to every scene.
Light of Faith - Original Watercolor Painting on paper ©2008
Barnegat Lighthouse, "Old Barney" celebrated its 150th birthday a couple years ago. This painting commemorates what the lighthouse looked like in the early 1900's. Back in those days, there were high bluffs and a lighthouse keeper's house, and prior to its refrubishment, the cap on the top was black. The high bluffs and the keepers house have long since washed away by the relentless tide and rough seas associated with the Barnegat inlet. The sight of the lighthouse provides boaters with a comforting feeling as it guides us around dangerous shoals. Old Barney, an icon of endurance and guidance.
Work in Process.
Sailboats on the beach (watercolor on canvas © 2013) - Just happened to see this colorful sight as the sailors prepare their boats for a morning of fun on the water.
Victorian Weekend (watercolor on canvas with etching ©2012)
After a hurricane “blew away”, (so to speak), our plans for Key West, we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in Cape May. An excellent choice with great dining, peaceful bike riding through this beautiful Victorian town, great food, fun on the beach and a touch of elegance.
Calm sunset in Barnegat Inlet (watercolor on paper ©2010) - It’s not uncommon, for the otherwise notoriously rough inlet to “lay down” in the early evening. As a boater, I have passed this very location many times, either on my way out for fishing, or cruising to an overnight destination, or just sightseeing. Old Barney is a beautiful sight, especially at this time of day.
Blue Heron (watercolor on canvas ©2012) – Almost prehistoric looking are these large impressive birds. A common site hunting for fish along the banks of ponds at the shore and around golf courses.
License to Chill (watercolor on paper ©2013) – Family enjoyment, fishing adventures, romantic cruises, and overnights on the water, provided our license to chill.
