Seascape Artist

I haven’t disappeared from the face of the earth ;P … but I have been a bit distracted in the real world. Why?

I am trying to quit smoking … again. I have not had even one in the month of March … I am taking it one moment at a time and not stressing over all the things that I am not accomplishing this month … I painted on the computer this week-end but it was not seascapes … perhaps some mermaid tails … but I haven’t put them in a painting yet … and after I step back away from them and they sit awhile .. I may not like them as is at all … we’ll see.

I found the Gallery of Elandria of Tenerife at Imagekind though and she paints gloriously alive and inspiring seascapes [as well as lovely other subjects too]. I love dusk, or twilight if you will, at the beach … this painting of moored boats reminds me of a fisherman’s cove, not a harbor … anchor the fishing fleet near the small village along the coast and swim ashore to the house just out of sight where a fish chowder supper is hot and steaming on the hearth waiting for the captain and crew.

Great art inspires stories and this one spun a mouth-watering tale of work, home and family for ordinary every day people. I can smell the chowder on the evening breeze! Smells yummy! I hope this painting inspires you to tell us a story in your painting!

Fisher Boats at Rest by Elandria of Tenerife

This lovely scene would be a marvelous idea for a painting - I think I would like evening with the sun setting behind the buildings and casting lovely shadows on the water or perhaps full night with lights in the windwos casting sparkling highlights on the waves.

All seascape paintings are not just big waves or ocean wave views. Marine art encompasses lots of other marine subjects like ships and harbors and docks … I’ve been to the docks in Galveston and they are busy lively places full of marvelous things to paint for those who have the skill, talent and desire to paint dockside paintings.
