"A Stroll Through Corolla" Painting

As sunset approaches North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a young lady enjoys the scenery of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Corolla Sound, and the surrounding vistas with a peaceful and leisurely barefoot stroll across the Corolla lighthouse bridge. I derived my artistic inspiration for this painting while on a wonderful family vacation in the small Outer Banks town of Corolla, North Carolina. The Currituck Beach Lighthouse was the last of four beacons placed at intervals from Cape Henry, Virginia to Cape Hatteras, and becomes the focal point of the background setting in this piece. The 162 foot tall tower is constructed of approximately one million bricks. Finished in 1875, the lighthouse was nearly identical to the other three lighthouses along North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The lighthouses at Bodie Island, Cape Lookout, and Cape Hatteras were so similar that the Lighthouse Board ordered them painted different patterns to make them easily distinguishable to mariners. The Currituck Beach Lighthouse was to remain unpainted using the natural red brick color to distinguish it from other lighthouses along the mid Atlantic seaboard. The Danny Day Studio is proud to present this Original Oil Painting on Canvas. One of the hallmarks of my artwork is my love of, and ability to create, stunning and realistic portraiture. With that in mind, and with a desire to firmly expand beyond my sports art, golf landscape and wildlife genres, I have created a continuing series of works termed “Romantic Realism”. Beautiful women in romantic and often sensual scenes, touching interaction between mother and daughter, sister to sister, and the learning experiences as a young girl develops and grows. These are all images that I have captured in this new genre. Being greatly influenced by my wife and two daughters has inspired me to discover some of the touching aspects of femininity, and enabled me to incorporate much of this experience onto the canvas. From the loose, thickly painted, almost impressionistic backgrounds, which flow and merge into the clothing and figures, to my trademark realism within the figures themselves, I have truly developed a new and exciting style of working. Lighting, composition and color are all combined within the paintings to set a mood and create a unique story. The painting is not framed, but the paint continues onto the sides so that framing is optional but not necessary.
