Emerald Morning, Sunset Beach





"An Emerald Morning, Sunset Beach"
plein air painting
11 x 14 inches
oil on canvas

Strong shadows, soft greens and blues with calm waters on the Gulf Of Mexico. This is a somewhat re-worked version of a plein air painting which had not been completed until now. Painting on site challenges the painter to not waste brush strokes, as the light changes quickly. After a composition is decided upon, the focus is to define the dark shapes which create the shadows. Back in the studio, I added some depth & interest by adding complimentary colors.

The Tack Shed by Jack Providenti


"The Tack Shed"
impressionism
by
Jack Providenti
6 x 8 inches
oil on canvas

What an incredible moment! A fresh snow that still leaves some remnants of Autumn. I painted this using pallet knife and brush. For those who are not familiar with horse terms, a tack shed is where one stores horse's equipment such as saddles,bridles, etc.

Doorway To The Woods


"Doorway  To The Woods"
5" x 7"
oil on board
by 
Jack Providenti


The mountain forest is enchanting. I couldn't resist working this so as to have it appear as though there is a doorway in the woods. There was actually a slight reddish glow at the foot of the wooded area, and I highlighted that ( artistic license!).

This painting is for sale, unframed @ $100.00 plus shipping. If interested, send me an e-mail 

Note cards of this piece will be available through Pennies For Art

Oregon Seagulls, Lincoln City

Lincoln City is a resort town on the Northern Oregon Coast. Formally named "Cutler City", it was received, in 1930, from Chief "Charley" DeFoe of the Siletz Native Americans, part of the present day Confederated Tribes of the Saletz who own and operate the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City.

The rolling fog and remoteness of the coast created a sort of mystical atmosphere that inspired me to paint this. This is a 24"x30" oil on canvas. The painting has been sold, but reproductions are available. Note cards are 6 for $14.00. Reproductions start at $12.00 each ( 8"x10").
