Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Seascape, "Pacific Blue" 4x12" SOLD
Most of my seascapes are from the Atlantic, or the Caribbean, but today I am visiting the Pacific.
My reference photo was taken a few years ago on a trip to California with my daughter and granddaughter. We were in San Francisco most of the trip, but one afternoon we drove south to Half Moon Bay.
For us east coasters, the Pacific was an untamed beast, quite different from our usually gentle Atlantic. Just that fact that we were peering down from a cliff and that the brave souls who ventured to the beach were all ON THE SHORE was foreign. Not that we do not have sunbathers on the shore, but there are ALWAYS bathers or surfers in the water, even on the coldest of days.
I decided to use a palette knife on this scene to help capture the power and texture.

"Red Sail" by Lynda Cookson
Last day of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.
Thank you so much everyone out there for putting up with me on a daily basis this past month ... you lovely comments and patience have been very appreciated. I know that if I hadn't put it out there for public viewing every day, I wouldn't have learned nearly as much as I did.
Halfway through I felt quite drained with it but got past that and may even do it again on an annual basis. Who knows!

"Looking Out to Sea" by Lynda Cookson
This little painting is on show at Gallery 1608 in Bushmills, Northern Ireland.
We live 300 metres from a secluded bay on one of the peninsulas of Brittany's west-as-west-can-go coastline in France. On a balmy summer's day, during a walk at "our" bay, the inspiration for "Looking Out to Sea" was born. How I wish I was as slim and young as this young slip of a girl!! LOL

Abstract Daily Painting, "Layers", Seascape, 6x8" SOLD
 |
| SOLD |
Well, maybe it's not exactly abstract, but it's not exactly impressionistic either. I easily get confused over all the different types of "abstract" works.
Therefore, I will just proclaim that it is painted freely and freshly, just like the sea.
What would you call this style?

Breaking Through by Lynda Cookson
"Breaking Through" ... I love this abstract. I can feel the sun, the warmth of that sun, a warm evening sky, the sea, and the white foam of the waves.
A residency at the restored stone cottage famine village of Cill Rialaig, near Ballinskelligs in Co Kerry, Ireland, was the inspiration for this acrylic on board. The strong winter wind whipped the foam from the top of the waves and blew it against the cliffs. That, together with the sense of all the ancient (and not so ancient) lives lived there created a very spiritual atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful weather and wonderful inspiration!
"Breaking Through" is for sale HERE ... or just click the image and you'll be taken through to the correct page where you'll find the price and the size of the painting.

Hookers and Boats by Lynda Cookson
From my years living in the West of Ireland, it was always so special to spot a Galway Hooker plying the waves, often between the Aran Islands off Galway and into Galway Bay. I believe there is still at least one enthusiast still making and restoring Hookers.
Years ago, in the area we lived in (Connemara) the Hookers would be used to ferry turf (peat) and supplies from the mainland to islands like the three Aran Islands. I watched a video once of an old movie made whilst towing a horse across the bay between the islands and Galway. I didn't much like that, feeling awful for the poor horse, but those days were much harder than now, in that respect, so perhaps I shouldn't judge!
I've popped in a couple of watercolours of boats amongst the Hooker paintings below.
Happy New Year everyone!

Abstract Daily Painting,SOLD, Seascape, "Green Wave" 6x8"
Although I have been painting for over 20 years, I find, most of the time, it is a struggle, a case of give and take. Some days I am pleased with the end results, some days, not so much!
This little painting is one I like. It seemed to fall off my brush with very few strokes. It is a very simple scene, and not to everyone's taste, but it made me feel good.
Thank you for viewing my little daily paintings.

Daily Painting, "Waves", Seascape, 6x8", Oil, SOLD
I enjoy trying to capture the feel of the surf rushing to shore on my canvas.
The ocean seems to have a different character and color each time I visit. This is the east coast of Florida, while California is much more rugged and has a deep rich blue hue.
I like to use my daily paintings very informally in my home. Just prop them up where ever the mood strikes! No frame necessary!

Daily Painting Seascape in Oil, 4x12" "Tropical Waters" SOLD
I love to do seascapes, especially with a palette knife, as it allows me to use plenty of texture. I like working with the ocean, it seems like a different place minute by minute.
How cool to have all this texture and all these shades of blue, aqua and green.
Being an artist is a good thing....I am very grateful.
Have a wonderful day!

Scallop Shell of Peace, by NY artist Celeste Plowden
8x10 acrylic on canvas, sides painted, UV varnish, wired and ready to hang. See this and more at my Chairish.com shop.
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

Daily Painting, "Atlantic Seascape", 8x10" SOLD
Who does not love the sea? The beach is a place of healing and joy. The salt cleanses us and the sun embraces us in its warmth. The ocean heals the heart, mind, and soul.
I have two loves, the sea and the mountains. They both have their own beauty and are ever changing. They both bring peace to my life.
