A New Dawn Painting

Having grown up on the East Coast, lived on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard then in Florida, the ocean and beach have always been important vistas to paint and places where thoughts come together. Boating and sailing are among the most enjoyable memories from childhood moving right through adulthood until we moved inland to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I most often paint in oils as an indirect painter - meaning I paint in layers letting under layers dry to show through the following layer. The first layer being quite abstract that ultimately becomes more recognizable and impressionistic.
