This is a painting done from a photo taken by my husband on his last trip to Costa Rica. I was unable to go, but he nicely took a lot of photos for me! He has a pretty good eye!

Bring Your Rain Again (Again)
Bring Your Rain Again
oil on canvas
30 x 40
I finished the large version of this painting! (At least I think I have... I am still pondering going back into the rocks a little bit). It is funny how similar the 8 x 10 looks on the computer screen and yet how different in person.
I am really inspired by water lately, so I think I am going to run with that for a while. Today is a nice rainy day to get me inspired... although I am fighting off the urge to take a nap... why does rain do that??

Bring Your Rain Again
These are definitely my favorite colors. I don't know about you, but I see blues, greys and blacks and I am instantly calmed down and transported to a beach or something. This was the most amazing rock beach in Costa Rica before a storm came in. There was so much wildlife too! Pelicans, snails, crabs, toucans even! Such a beautiful memory.

Preparing the Pineapple Fields - 8 x 10 - Original Oil Painting
Preparing the Pineapple Fields
8 x 10
oil on canvas panel

Here is the finished painting. Somehow it looks a little crooked on the computer. It is a straight-ish horizon line in real life! I'm thinking I will do this one as a large painting. Maybe 24 x 30 or so? I'll be able to capture more of the light in the fields and trees with a larger canvas.
