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

Beach Runners - Watercolor Painting of Sandpipers Running On the Sand

This is a painting I did of some little sandpipers that were at a beach on Long Island Sound. I watched these birds scurrying on the sand at the waters edge. I did a few sketches and took photos and painted this watercolor in my studio. This painting is 15"x 29" overall and is framed in a whitewashed frame that compliments the painting nicely. This first photo above is a closeup of the painting. I used a nice bright blue for the water and added texture to the sand. I painted the birds realistically and showed them in different running positions.
With the long horizontal format of the painting I was able to include several of the birds. The painting is double matted in acid free mat board and comes with a off white/biege driftwood like frame. Price: $450. Contact me with any questions about the painting or purchasing the painting. Thanks, PJ
