Red Kayak Bliss by Josephine Hardison

Beginning a large painting is the best way to spend a snowy day. I can already see it in my head and can't wait to get it all down onto the canvas.

Then, when it is complete and I step back, I can almost feel the sun on my back and feel the sand under my toes. Well, almost.... but then I look outside, see the snow on the ground and it's back to reality! HaHa! My favorite thing to paint when it is cold and snowy......beaches. But then my favorite thing to paint when it's warm and sunny......beaches! What can I say, I love beaches, visiting them or painting them!!!

My choice was to paint BIG!! I have been doing many small paintings and thought I would change things up a bit by going larger. I really like doing both and happy for the change. This was a picture I had painted before but in a totally different style. (Click here to see previous version) I have used the previous version for much of my marketing materials and still love the colors but wanted to try it from a different perspective. Many people may not believe it is from the same picture but it is just different styles of painting. The first version was done totally with a palette knife and this larger version was all done with brushes. I love them both!!! Guess it's like children, they are different and I love them in different ways!!! Which version do you like best???

Nothing better than a sunset at the beach. This is from a photo my husband took on one of our trips to Bonaire. It is a beautiful Dutch Island known for scuba diving. After a day filled with diving, it is very relaxing to chill anywhere on the island and watch as the sun slips into the water. If you are lucky you can see a green flash as the sun enters the water. We weren't able to travel there this year so I pretended to be there by painting it!!!
