This original coastal harbor oil painting was inspired by Southport, NC where we took a wonderful vacation.  We visited the lovely beach communities around Wilmington, NC.  We were eager to see the town where the Nicholas Sparks' movie,"Safe Haven", was filmed.   This enchanting little coastal community has quaint and colorful cottages.  The harbor area has wonderful restaurant like the Fishy Fishy Cafe.  I love the rustic buildings that surround the weathered docks.   The downtown area has charming little shops and is bustling with tourists!  

Julianne Hough's character, Katie, sought refuge in this coastal town.  Just like Katie and the boats that are safely tucked in the harbor, we all need a place to feel safe and secure.  

This colorful seaside painting would be lovely in a home with coastal and beach décor.  The painting has tones of blues and teals with tropical colors that will bring a little seaside living into any home.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

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 ...

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.
