The early morning sunlight begins to stretch across the marina, adding warmth to the cool blue remnants of pre-dawn.

This is not an "electric" marina......it is actually the name of a marina downtown St Petersburg on Bayshore Drive & 2nd Ave. There is something deliciously tropical about this area...words can't describe it, but perhaps this painting will. I painted a 5' x7" study of it about a month ago, and recently decided to paint this larger version. Just finished it today.

Just after sunrise and right before sunset are my favorite times to paint. This is early morning further out in the marina, where the wind creates ripples that play with the watery reflections of the masts.

I find sailboats inspiring. This one was painted with brushes & palette knives. The technique lends itself to creating effects of ripples in the water and a few puffy clouds against an otherwise clear blue sky.
