Go Your Own Way - daily painting, beach scene

6x6" oil on masonite panel.
As artists we often question ourselves - at least I do, but I suspect I'm not alone....we wonder is this right?, should I paint more realistically?, more painterly?, less realistically?, should I paint like him ?or larger? etc etc etc.
It is a constant daily battle and in the end makes us grow if it doesnt freeze us up!! If I dont listen to all these negative little messages - my true artist self emerges...it cant help it...and its OK-.

Go Your Own Way. Your own voice always works...it just does.

Got Vanilla? SOLD

6x8" oil on masonite SOLD
more 'scenes from my street' except this isnt our street. But it is my niece and it is 'our' icecream place. Gray's Icecream in Tiverton, RI. Best mochachip anywhere :-) She actually has Oreo I think but I made it vanilla for the painting. I like painting these because I like painting people (people watching has always been a favorite thing to do) but also I absolutely love that street color.
