Ahhhh, the isle of Santorini Greece. Blue skies and seas, white dwellings and delicious fresh seafood. This is my dream vacation! I painted this large framed painting in oil, and plan to get there someday! Enjoy!
Greetings from a winter wonderland. T his piece on a black canvas was a joy to paint. Using a palette knife to sculpt the mountains, coupled with some brush strokes for the icy lake and foreground, I created this lovely chilly scene. The sky turned out beautifully with some purple and lavender hues. I used thick and thin oil paint to get the effect. Brrrrr.... Peaceful, serene and tinged with many shades of blues just brings out the glory of the Alaskan Mountains. I've been there several times in winter which was my inspiration for this piece -- even took a dog sled ride! Wear your parka and enjoy or own this piece of fine art. Email me for details. More of my winter art available at the Foundry Art Market, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. My studio and gallery, Barking Dog Enterprises, is located in Fayetteville.
This is the second piece of my series of Santorini paintings. I love the blue and white in this oil painting at sunset. When you look at the architecture of the town, it just looks like white buildings against a cerulean blue sea, but it's not! As a painter, I see the greys of cast shadows, the cream-colored tints and the stunning and graceful curves of windows and walls each with their own values of grey, lavender and white! Who knows, maybe there's one more Santorini piece in me yet! I just love this place, and I plan to get there someday. I just was notified that my "miniature" painting of Santorini has been juried into a large art show including artists all over the east, and locally here in Pennsylvania. The Miniature Show in Chambersburg is a must see! More to follow on that. Cheers! Happy Fall --
