Oil Painting,"Low Tide"

"Low Tide"

Good Morning!

Many of the beaches in Montauk have a red/purple sand. As I was walking along at low tide, this beach was a bright magenta purple. This painting is not yet for sale because I'm not sure it's finished. The size is 22 x 26.

As you can see, I'm working on a more minimal style for my land and seascapes. I saw a lot of landscapes in the East Hampton galleries. I found the minimal, more abstract ones closer to my taste than those with more detail.

In the weeks to come, I plan a number of landscape paintings. It will be interesting to see how they evolve.

Until tomorrow,

Good Morning!

I have been thinking about Montauk lately. We go there every spring and I'm looking forward to the trip. I fully understand why so many artists made that area their home. Duchamp, Pollock and Krasner, Avedon and many others spent a lot of time in the area. The quality of light is amazing. I spend a lot of my time behind the camera, bringing home amazing photos to paint from. My paintings of Montauk are some of my favorites. This little study is yet another of my favorite area.

I'm sharing my studio with a young painter who has come to paint a portrait. Although I've been offering a bit of guidance, I'm not "teaching". The young woman is a painter in her own right and is doing a wonderful job. Hopefully, when her painting is finished, she will allow me to share it with my readers.

Until tomorrow,
