It's so nice to be home and painting again. I'm obviously on a Florida kick--here's another one, this time from a trip to Miami. This little alley was full of cafes and all lit up at night--a very festive scene. Lots of New York paintings to come!
Details: 6 x 6 inch oil on 1/2 inch board. Dovetail slots in the back make it easy to hang unframed with no extra hardware. Sides are painted black.
Spotted at the Indie Garden Center show...

There's something so compelling about these little tropical scenes--the palm trees, the ocean, the sky, the little bits of architecture--they're lots of fun to paint!
I need to give you a warning about this one if you're thinking of buying it. Although these 1/2 panels have dovetail slots in the back to allow you to hang it on a nail, I accidentally painted this one upside-down on the board, so that the slot that you could use to hang it is on the wrong end of the painting. Such things happen. It is still very easy to attach hardware to the back and hang it unframed if you prefer.
What a great feeling to be back from the book tour and finally able to pick up a paintbrush again. There will be lots of paintings of New York over the coming months, but for now I'm posting something I finished just before I left: a painting of a poolside guest house on an island off the Florida coast.
Click here if you'd like to bid on it. It's an 8 x 10 inch oil on board, ready to frame.
I also post these paintings on Lost Coast Daily Painters, a group blog I participate in along with four other great Humboldt County painters. Everything that doesn't sell on eBay goes in a Buy It Now section, and you can find some great bargains there from all of us. Check it out!
Change is good
