Dory - rowboat on water original painting Painting

I'm a Georgia based artist, known for bright expressions of color in my paintings. Love of the ocean and birds is my main focus but I dabble in many subject matters to keep my creative juices flowing and to alleviate boredom. I have studied oil painting with professional artists and through workshops.  I enjoy painting many different subjects, but I have a fond connection with painting water and boats.   Born in Florida, I spent a lot of time around the ocean living in Jacksonville and Key West before moving to Georgia.   I paint in my studio at The Artisan Resource Center in Marietta, Georgia.
