"Brilliant Blues" by Jack Providenti

"Brilliant Blues"
by
Jack Providenti
16 x 20 inches oil on canvas
 I did not exaggerate the quality and brilliance of the blue sky & water in this painting. This was a clear bright day in St Petersburg, FL.. I was also inspired by the green palm trees and pink Vinoy Hotel in the background. I did a smaller, 5"x7" study of this scene, then went back there for a larger version.Web Site

12 x 24 inches
oil on canvas

I painted a small 5 x 7 inch study of this a few months ago, and today I finished this larger version. Here on Florida's Gulf Coast it's common for people to gather and watch a sunset.....a ceremony that possibly started  with Sandpipers?

Sometimes portraying the play of light and shadow on the beach is similar to painting snow. This scene is early morning, Sunset Beach on Treasure Island,Fl.

The early morning light cast a blue shadow,and here was this guy, framed by sea oats, looking out at the gulf. "Daydreaming" seemed an appropriate title.

Tropical Daybreak

"Tropical Daybreak"

16 x 20 oil on canvas

I got to the beach before dawn and walked around while waiting for daylight. I took lots of pictures of that twilight time before the sun actually shows up...this painting is from one of those pictures.
