Coastal Painting of Tugboats by the Docks in Portsmouth

Coastal painting of tugboats along boat docats in Portsmouth

"Tug at your Heartstrings"

SOLD Original

The delightful coastal oil painting was inspired by the docks in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where you can find Moran tugboats. I like to do research on my subject matter, and I especially needed to do that regarding this subject matter. I found out that many tug boat workers have lost their lives when rescuing ships and boats. In my research, I came across a story narrated by Tom Hanks about how the tugboat and other boat operators rescued 300,000-500,000 people off Manhattan Island during 9/11. I was amazed that I had never heard of their heroic efforts.

If you would like to read more about the rescue and to see the short film narrated by Tom Hanks, go to this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eddie-rosenstein/tom-hanks-narrates-boatlift_b_956529.html

It is truly an unforgettable film that will show how Americans pull together in times of need. It was heartwarming to see the response by the boat operators.

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". John was focused on Chula and not the beautiful woman who rode by on the sunlit sidewalk next to a stream. I knew when I took this photo, that I would capture that moment on a canvas one day. I miss our little Chula. She loved to go on trips with us. I also painted this glistening waterlily painting based on a Florida marsh at sunset. The carnival of colors are delightful and memorizing. I am a big fan of Monet and can see his influence in the way I paint my waterlily paintings. I remember visiting an art museum and admiring one of his waterlily paintings. I asked the curator why the edges still had white canvas ...

I am thrilled and honored to announce the Lewis Steakhouse purchased four paintings for their new restaurant in Jupiter, Florida. I can't wait to see how they featured them and will visit them soon to to take photographs and enjoy some of their delicious menu items!

Water Lilies on a pond at sunset oil painting

"Twilight Pond" 24x36 Landscape Nature Oil Painting Gallery Wrapped Canvas 1 3/8" (sides painted black) By: Amber Palomares, Fine Art Palm Beach Gardens Artist The sunset reflections and waterlilies are dancing with light in this coastal painting! I am inspired by Monet and his impressionist style. Like Monet, I did not include a horizon line. The pink flowers are dazzling on the lily pads that are bidding the day farewell as the sun sets in this South Florida marsh.
