Hazy Horizons

This summer, the smoke from the Canada wildfires have been drifting along the Bayshore. Obstructed views of the city, of the horizon, of the sun. It’s only inevitable that it goes in through the eyes, out through the hands, up into the paintings. I’ve been experimenting with acrylic inks and increasingly thin washes of paint to capture the haziness of these half-there, dreaming wide awake landscapes. I present a small set here.

I’ve recently added prints for one of my all time favorite paintings to my Minted shop.

This abstract landscape painting was inspired by the first soft signs of spring taking shape along the bay shore. Glimpses of the water subtly break through the shifting composition of white and neutral shades. It is available in a range of sizes on paper and canvas with some lovely framing options.

New Seascapes for the New Year

Living on the coast of the NYC bay, I am so very blessed to be able to gaze out at the water every day. I find the horizon line where the water meets the sky to be instantly calming, centering and at the same time powerful and energizing. Every day is different on the water. From misty gray fog that blends the earth into the sky, to spectacular summer sunsets in pink and tangerine, to earthy blues with just a hint of daylight coming through.

I’ve painted a number of these small seascapes on linen and canvas panels over the past two years. With the last of them sold, I’ll be adding several more this year inspired by my views here on the New Jersey coast (and perhaps a few other locations—we’ll see).

Here are the first three of this series reboot, inspired by the warm, gauzy late afternoon colors at the end of autumn.

Originals are available in my shop and on Etsy. Prints are also available in a variety of sizes and surfaces in my print shop.
