Here is to my wonderful husband and an awesome dad. Painted from a photo shot during one of those rare moments when an independent 8 year old let him hold her hands :-).
I love watching skyscrapers at night. Fortunate to live close to this beautiful city - here is San Francisco at night. Lighting up those buildings tooks more time than I anticipated, but I am finally going to call this done. This painting is on a 18X24 canvas with water mixable oils.
Finished painting Details on the buildings and reflections More details on the buildings Details on the water - done with the impressionist brush strokes
I am a self-taught artist with a passion for painting and photography. I have been painting as a hobby for many years and love using various media including oil, acrylic, watercolor and oil pastels. Mostly I take photos of scenes that catch my eyes and transform them into a painting. California's colorful landscapes from the water’s edge to mountaintops are a constant source of my artistic inspiration. I love using vivid colors and texture in my landscapes and florals to express the beauty of the scene I am painting.
