Sea Creature Paintings



There's something magical that happens when painting on vintage wood.  Let's face it, it already has such beauty in its age and patina.  Sometimes I would just almost prefer to hang the old piece of wood to appreciate it's story in the dents and chips and cracking and peeling paint.  But, well, painting imagery is what I do.  So, I try to compliment the beauty of the antique boards and nover cover too much of it up with "new" paint.  There's a nice balance in these three nautical style paintings of seahorses and a fabulous crab.  All available at the upcoming Wholesale Gallery Show at Market Square.
