Boat trip to Capri

I hate to ride on boats because I get so sea sick but braved it anyway for this beautiful scenery!  We boated from Menori past Amalfi, Positano and beyond....all the way to Capri where we toured around for a few hours.  Scenes along the way were amazing.  We went in several grotto's along the way.  The water is Emerald and Cerelean blue!

I love this painting and love this place!  The iceplant was in full bloom when I visited a few weeks ago and I took full advantage!  Beautiful cliffs and the sound of surf call to be painted and so I painted it large and rich in texture! 



Just watched the news tonight and although I'm sitting here in dry as a bone Vegas....my thoughts are with all my friends in the South along that raging Mississippi!  God bless!

My daughter plays the violin beautifully and she is always an inspiration to my musical figurative pieces, and so is her music!  I draw attention here to plays of complimentary color.  Green on red, yellow on blue.  My intent is to tell a story and let you write it.

My love of abstraction, design and texture come together here in this painting.
The elements of design are all here- the basic visual principles: line, form, value, shape, space, color and texture!  Energetic rhythms of color!
