Painting can be viewed and purchased at Aritsans Harbor, 188 Main St. in Old Saybrook, CT. Wed - Sat from noon to 5pm and Sundays 10:30- 2pm.

Seascape "The Shore Path" - Final Step was adding a Great Egret Wading In the Water

Here is the finished seascape painting The Shore Path and if you compare this to the previous post from Monday you can see that I continued refining the details in the painting. It is hard to see in this photo of the painting that I added a great egret wading in the water. There is also reflections of the clouds in the water.

This painting is on a 1.5 inch gallery wrap canvas so the painting continues on the sides of the canvas. With the canvas size of thirty by thirty inch it is a good sized painting. This painting is on display at Artisans Harbor 188 Main Street in Old Saybrook, CT. If you have any questions send me an email at pj@pjcookartist.com

Update: beach painting on chair project.

The seascape painting on a chair project is progressing. I am continuing to add layers of acrylic paint to my chair. In this photo I have my palette and paints and the chair all on my desktop. Sometimes I paint with the chair here or on the floor it depends what section I am working on.

The sand will probably take the most time to paint because I want all the footprints in the sand receding towards the water. This should create depth to the painting. I am planning to paint the rest of the chair with a gloss white paint in the areas without the artwork. It's coming along and I should be finishing up in a few days.




I have a art show next weekend here in Old Lyme, CT. It is the Expressions Art Show and I have participated for several years now. It is at Lyme Art Association and many artists fill the gallery walls with their art for sale. The proceeds for the sale of the artwork go towards non-profit organizations and are listed on the postcard. I have included all the details for the show and I hope to see you there!
Thanks,
