Ocean Before The Storm- Santa Monica California

This painting was done in Santa Monica using watercolors.  While I was working on the painting it was calm but shortly after  the painting was done the storm came rolling in.  I used watercolors because when you are painting on location you have to work quickly and accurately right form the beginning- it keeps the air in the painting- just the way you feel on the beach.
The size of the painting is 4 1/2" x  5 1/2"  with a white matt around the painting the total size is 11" x 14"  
Original-Total price is $125

SAFE AT HOME- lovely architecture - storm surrounding home.


This is one of my favorites.  It is actually a painting of one home although it looks like many homes.  There is a storm all around the home but light from the sky brightens the home and keeps it warm and safe... home is where the heart is and security lies.
