BEST DAY EVER!

AN ORIGINAL PAINTING

Title: Best Day Ever!

Image size: 24 x 30 in.

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

- DETAILS -

This is my latest work on the series about life on the dockside. I called this place Point Kittiwake, an imaginary seaside town named after the gulls with black feet and yellow beaks. They got the name from their call: "kittiwak-aaak-aaak!"



I painted this nautical structure to serve as the main feature. I find white buildings or a marina full of white boats are the most difficult things to paint, as it needs many shades of white and gray to make them look realistic and also distinguish one from the other. Now, to paint a man in white suit in front of the white building, that indeed upped the ante.




Today is turning out to be the best ever! A wonderful sunny weekend spent with Grandpa for brunch at the Yacht Club.


The boys had a blast fishing on the dock. Today is best ever with their biggest catch to date. Even the cat get to have one.



A parade of the catch... the bucket is full and the rest of the fish has to be carried on a pole.


Whoa, a humongous slippery catch of the day! As usual in my paintings, the littlest guy caught the biggest fish. Check out those comfy Crocs, great for wearing on the docks.

"BEST DAY EVER!"

I hope you enjoyed this painting and all its details. I love this painting so much I have it hanged in my living room and enjoy viewing it everyday.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

SWANS HAVEN

AN ORIGINAL PAINTING
Title: Swans Haven
Image size: 24 x 30 in.
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

- DETAILS -

Mute swans from allover come to this place to socialize and say(?) hello to fellow swans.

Here they meet to exchange vows... to love and to cherish.

This is famous Bob's Fish & Chips... the aroma wafting out is so deliciously good the boy out walking his great dane just lost all control! By the way, Bob is my real estate broker who loves fish & chips... so he opens one, but only in my painting.

.

This is life... sunshine by the water and the Sunday paper... of course, jump to the sports section first of all.

The family from the Second Wind enjoying the morning sun.

This is the Heavenly Cafe... world famous for its cute pink mascot... and it gets better, customers get free access to the world wide web!

This artist is peddling his painting "Swans Haven" to the art galleries... here he came out dejected, poor fellow!

CAT BURGLARS

Title: Cat Burglars

Image size: 30 x 24 in.

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

...enjoy...

- DETAILS -

A Close-up shot of the lighthouse... somewhere in the world there may be a lighthouse just like it but this one is a fiction, from my imagination.

What a fine day to go fishing... or to paint at the marina... guess who's that artist?

This is me... looking good and 20 years younger. Well, since I created this work, I can do anything I want! lol

A funny sight... the cat got another one!

CAT BURGLARS

Look at the fat cat naps... tired after a full meal!

When the catch arrives, the resident cats have a feast.

Smith puts on the final coat of paint. Boats of all vintage come to Smith & Sons for repair and detailing.

A story of Cats and Men... and a boat named Holly McKerrel!

CAT BURGLARS!

Another work for you to enjoy... at the same time to keep my mind active and creative, or it gets atrophied with age. Hopefully this work makes me some dough over time!

LAUGHING GULLS LANDING

AN ORIGINAL PAINTING

Title: Laughing Gulls Landing

Image Size: 30 x 24 in.

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

- DETAILS -

I named this place "Laughing Gulls Island," where the laughing gulls rule. I wonder if there's such a place with this name, so I googled it and there's none; well, this is my original island!

"The Lodge" for the fishing enthusiasts. I like the building in my last work "Pelican Bay" so I did this one the same shape but modified the viewing tower.

I just love the sight of lighthouse with the gulls... it reminds me of my visit to New England.

Big fish and small fish... a very busy weekend with an abundance of catch!

LAUGHING GULLS LANDING (Details)

I came up with the name "Merry Mary," a cute alliteration... makes it special and more memorable.

Same with Darlin' Debbie.

3 generations on this fishing trip... and what a catch!

Say cheese... and a big wet kiss!

The kid caught the biggest fish of the day! All help appreciated in hauling it for the photo shoot!

PELICAN BAY

AN ORIGINAL PAINTING
Title: Pelican Bay
Image size: 24 x 30 in.
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

-details-

Close up shot of the fishing boats.

I just love the sight of pelicans flying in formation! It's a sight to behold.

A fish market in a wonderful setting. You can't find anything like this in the real world... only in my painting!

Wow, fresh yellowfin tuna... looks gross but it is my favorite sandwich filler!

Mussels, clams, shrimps, crabs, squids... fish and more fish.

The chef with the day's catch ready to bike off to his bistro. Today's special is Grilled salmon with lemon and thyme.

Gulls perched on their favorite spots... a good vantage point to see what's going on and a nice place for gull gossips.

These boats are named after my sisters.

This couple is having a leisure swim... waiting for friends to join them.

This guy is all tuckered out... ahhh, what a refreshing nap on the pole! For the birds, these poles are prime real estates.

Gulls looking for fish scraps and other goodies thrown from the boats.

PELICAN BAY... technically, one of my most difficult works so far ("Cat Lovers Society" hands down still takes the cake!), but seeing it done is so satisfying!

I hope you have enjoyed viewing it; let me know your comments and suggestions for my future works.
