Sunrise over Hilton Head Island


I took a couple of months off from painting which I probably shouldn't have. Now I got back into it again and I get frustrated when my paintings don't turn out the way I want them to. This one for example, I was trying for a realistic painting but I ended up painting more of an impressionistic style. I need to start painting more often to back into the swing of things. I was going to do a series of beach scenes but after painting this one I'm going to paint a series of still lifes instead, just until I get back into the flow again.

Hilton Head Island




I just got back from vacationing in Hilton Head Island, SC. It is so beautiful down there I took a lot of pictures. My Sister-in-law and I woke up at the crack of dawn to capture these great pics. I probably took about 200 pictures so now I have a ton of references for painting some seascapes.
