I was looking at some old family photos of vacations that different family members had taken over the years and stumbled onto a photo that I liked.  

I painted a representation of the photo I found.  I made some changes.  I purposely left out lots of details.  I wanted a painterly effect with an almost abstract feel while still being representational.  This way people would focus on a feeling and reminisce about their own experiences.

I choose acrylics as they are one of my favorite mediums as they can be used to create quick painterly images.  I also like using glazes at times for certain effects and I find acrylics are good for this.

I was intrigued with the clouds and sky and the lighting.

I used some more seemingly random brushstrokes in places as a way to add movement and energy.  I also worked with solid color versus transparent.

I love the moody quality.  

I don't know where the photo was taken perhaps California?

Dear collectors, I am just a simple person living a simple life. Having lived in some beautiful places; nature is important to me. I currently resided in small little country home. A love for painting is my one true constant. One of the true joys in my life has been the time spent exploring my little world as an artist. I am almost forty-two now and continue to paint; having practiced for almost thirty years now. I am both self taught and trained as I have a bachelor's degree from a Framingham State College. I have always worked multiple jobs while still somehow creating and selling on almost a daily basis. I am so happy to say that many people all across the United States enjoy my artwork on their walls. For me my paintings are more then a pretty picture. No matter if I am doing a portrait or a landscape there is meaning and feeling behind each one. I explore character and the uniqueness of the subject at hand. I love the outdoors and have a deep respect for the natural world. As my family owns an old farm with woods and many wild animals make their home their.
