Description
The Original Oil Painting, “Surprise Me, is sold. All Originals are viewed and sold with extra images at BaywoodGallery.com (copy/paste or type just as you see it).
This painting was painted with a feeling of summer fun. It may say different things to many people, but I painted it as a day at the beach, enjoying "hide-in-seek" and or a "surprise" in the making. I loved painting her bare feet and fair skin being protected by her very large straw hat, with a matching green band.Thank you for finding us on fineartamerica while searching for Art or a product it is printed on.

I am a self-taught Artist who began painting forty years ago in a form of Realism. “Oil painting is to me, much like writing is to an author, once the painting is complete many more than one can enjoy. Teaching yourself everything can be a long road, and what a journey to learn with God’s blessing every step of the way. The measure of success is the love or the passion you have for what you do and without it, an Artist can lose their way.” “I mix all my colors, rarely taking them straight from the tube, and create shadows for all elements like the sides of a buildings to oppose the front telling us if the sun is to rise or set. Perspective is enhanced with many color values as well, allowing us to see the realistic view of an open window, door, winding paths, steps, water and so much more. Composition can be difficult to perceive, and I am grateful that it came to me naturally.” I am self-taught in archival printing, website design and maintenance.
