Abstract Seascapes

"Birds on the Beach"



"Low Tide"

Some new paintings. I have been working on a series of abstract seascapes . I am fascinated with the colors and misty light at low tide, especially in the early morning and in the late afternoon.

I've used lots of washes and glazes with acrylic paints on gallery wrapped canvas. I'll be posting more pieces soon. These and other paintings can be seen in my Etsy shop.

A Dining Room floor








I painted this dining room floor for a friend who bought a fantastic victorian house here in North Carolina. The center is marbelized and I used a stencil that I cut for the borders. The design is adapted from the design in her stained glass chandelier. The floor was painted with acrylic paints and then coated with several coats of a varathane floor finish, then waxed.
