This is an original beautiful tropical ocean painting with a glistening sunset, swaying palm trees, and sunlit path along the beach.  This peaceful beach painting looks like something you would see on a tropical island in the Caribbean or Hawaii.  The ocean water sparkles with the reflections from the sun and distant mountains.  Light dances on the palm trees and tropical plants in this beautiful landscape painting. 

This vibrant beach painting has heavy impasto brushwork, which brings a three dimensional look and feel.  Layers of glazing was used in the luminous water.  Texture and was used on the palm trees and tropical lush foliage and plants.

Painting Edges of three New Coastal Paintings

  I put my last three oil paintings in an assembly line to paint the sides.  I often take over the dining room table to perform this task.   The painting in the middle is based on our trip up to Watercolor Beach, FL with Chula, our dog.   I think I will call it "I Only Have Eyes for You".
