One of my larger paintings, this three feet by six feet piece would be a beautiful addition to a beach house or as a centerpiece to a family/living room. I’ve always enjoyed tackling larger canvases—something freeing about having more space to work with. The airy atmosphere of this one is satisfying to me, as are the little sails on the horizon . . . also: what life-choices is that guy on the bow of the ship contemplating?

This is one of the few images I’ve painted directly from my imagination instead of relying on a reference photo. It comes across as a painted cartoon, and I’m fine with that. This is the third time I’ve painted this image, this time spanning two canvases.

Fresh off the easel, this simple image is one I've painted before [and still have in my studio]. I thought it would do well in this larger format. The painting's calm, somber simplicity is only amplified at this larger size.

I painted a small square version of this last month. I liked the simple design of it so I painted another. This one is larger and stretched out tall.

This one was just going to be a quick "sketch" with my paints this morning, then it turned into something more finished. It went through many phases in the process---it initially had a figure in the foreground feeding the gulls, for instance---and I'm happy with the result.

This is an image I've painted twice before in smaller sizes. I like the melancholy feel this one has---the drips of paint only adding to the effect.
