Vieques Island Waves

This is one of the recent wave paintings I have completed. The inspiration of living on the ocean in Vieques. Puerto Rico has been incredible. Looking out my studio to see the ocean, while I am able to create has been hard to paint anything but seascapes.

Soon I will have some of the paintings I am working on... showing different stages... on the blog. The Poster painting I create for Chincoteague Island's Annual pony swim and roundup is soon to be revealed. I have been painting an annual painting since 1985, which many customers still collect. My painting inspiration for Chincoteague is still there and probably always will be as 28 years of my life has been there.

Oil painting in Vieques

Currently I am only working on oils on canvas and gesso boards , which is perfect for the tropics. the humidity and heat on Vieques does not agree with my watercolor paper boards.

Painting on Vieques Island

Everyday is incredible beautiful. To wake up every morning and be look out at the ocean, watch the hummingbirds, and listen to nature is total serenity. There is not a day that my mind is constantly clicking pictures in my head to save for the next painting. I am so fortunate to be here, it took years of hard work. Working my gallery in Chincoteague Island seventy to eighty hours a week in season, is what made it possible to retire and paint on Vieques. Chincoteague will always stay close to my heart and paint brush.
