Kiss - kissing couple on the beach

"Kiss Too"

20" x 16", Oil on Canvas

I finished this painting a few months ago and it had been hanging on my wall.  Recently I sold the first painting "The Kiss" - which is similar to this but the woman has a bouquet of flower in the outstretched hand and flowers in her hair.

 

The couple who bought it said that it remind them of their wedding 10 years ago and this was going to be their anniversary gift to one another....

 

I am so touched!!! 

 

I decided to make a few changes to this painting because I was not quite happy with the results - some of the changes were - his legs were too skinny so I've given them more "heft"  And I blurred his feet area.  I changed her hand to be more closed - the first one felt like it looked like a lobster claw...

 

Anyway - here it is.  Kiss Too.  (2)

Burrasca, Squall Seascape Oil Painting

"Burrasca"

20" x  24", Oil on Canvas

Burrasca is the Italian word for "squall" so I painted this sky very moody as though a storm is over the sea.   This painting is available and exhibited at the The Dutch Art Gallery.

Seashells - Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

"Seashells"

6 x 4 inches, Oil on Board

NFS

I'd been painting and working on several commissioned paintings lately.  This one, though not a commission I painted from one of many photos my commissioner (don't you like that term?  Nancy Medina, my friend and artist came up with it) had sent me.  I'm not going to post the actual commissioned painting just yet since it is a surprise gift for my commissioner's spouse.

I had a small panel available so I was doing a little practice painting this little painting.  It is now officially Autumn but memories of playing on the beach remain.

Art makes such a wonderful gift.  It's lasting and personal.

Till Tomorrow

"Till Tomorrow"

11 x 14 x 3/4" Oil on Canvas

Available at The Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas

I'd painted a similar, larger painting a while back in a square format. When I was asked to do this size I was a little worried that the horizontal format might not work for the subject matter. While the boat is key - it's the sky that I wanted to fill the painting with. But I think it turned out ok.

Beaches, Dunes, Sand and Surf

"Moment I Treasure"

12 x 12 x 3/4" Oil on stretched canvas

SOLD

Coincidence? Timing? Kismet? Telepathy? I don't know. But the other day I was thinking that I'd like to do another seascape painting. I've been so fortunate that I've lived close to a body of water for most my life. Even now, as I live in the center of the United States, my house sits atop a hill that overlooks Lake Grapevine and I can walk down the slope and get to the water's edge.
I don't swim, and I haven't gone swimming for many many years but I like looking at the water.
Ok I digress, so I was thinking of painting a seascape when I receive an email from a someone who'd bought a seascape painting from me last year asking if I might be painting one soon because he'd like to have a pair of them. This is somewhat like a painting I'd done a while back called "Summer of '42" which he liked but on a square canvas.

Lost and Found

Finding something lost is such a keen feeling. A misplaced key, a friend from the past, a pair of glasses, the favorite pair of jeans we tossed into the corner of the closet when we could no longer fit into it, a secret beach where we used to hang out when we were teens, a phone number scribbled on a notepad...

What interesting joy have you had when you "found" something you thought you'd "lost"?

It's Summer and it's hot outside. The sun has that brilliant searing white glint as it reflects off of car windows I pass while I drive on hot pavement...a quieter, cooler beach was on my mind.

South Beach

Last year February we took a quick trip to South Beach, Miami. I loved walking on the beach and taking photos of the quirky and colorful lifeguard stands.
