HAWKS FEATHER

6"x8" Acrylic on Masonite Panel...$100

This is a Harrier Hawk feather. Lots of them (hawks) around our house. Every year they make a nest out in the dune grass and lay eggs. In the past I've watched to see where they make the nest and then sneak out there to see the chicks. The parents can get really aggressive and swoop with talons extended trying to drive away anyone getting too close to the nest... unnerving!

The pot is one we bought locally years ago.... the bottom says Roger but I can't remember who the artist is.

GLASS FLOAT

We call these rolling pin floats. They're about 8" long and serve the same purpose as the ball shaped ones (like below).

SEA TREASURES

6x6" acrylic on Masonite panel

$100SOLD

Glass balls.....Japanese floats...whatever you call them... they are real treasures. Only once  in a blue moon do you find them washed ashore anymore. Most people in our neck of the woods had a few laying around the house or the yard when I was a kid and you could find them pretty easily  if you went to the beach during a Sou-wester. Some were as large as basketballs. Most were this size..about 6" diameter. They were what the Japanese fishing fleet used to keep their nets afloat. My wife spends a lot of time on the beach and still finds the rare one sometimes.

These old tools were my way of making a living at one time. This one has some nice brass on it which contrasts nicely with the rosewood handle.

BOY TOYS

8x10" acrylic on Masonite panel

$125 SOLD

When I was working as a builder the old joke was 'all a guy needed to be a contractor was a skillsaw a pickup truck and a dog.' That was way back when a guy could buy a license and automatically be a building contractor regardless of your knowledge or capabilities so it was not really such a joke.

These were the other three things I needed....a hammer a tape measure and a pencil. And I did learn the trade first from an old carpenter who taught me everything he knew.

Then I decided I'd stop breaking my back get out of the building business and do something easy like become a painter........that was the real joke...now I have a broken bank account.

OLD TIMERS

8x10" acrylic on panel

$125 SOLD

This #3wood and putter are from my dads old set of clubs.They date back to the '50's. Even the ball is from that era. I had a good time painting this but I spent way too long on it. Oh well! Lots of reflective surface which always punches things up a little. I won't tell how many times I changed the background color.

TWO OF A KIND

8"x10" on panel

$100

So many clamming scenes are silhouettes and I don't like to paint silhouettes but when you're  shooting into the sunset that's what you get. It's hard to resist because the colors are so great in the sky and in the reflected sky. BUY WITH PAYPAL

ROLL YOUR OWN

8x10"acrylic on masonite panel

$125

A little salmon, a little tuna, a little crab, rice, cucumber, avacado and seaweed...POOF!...sushi. Nothin' to it!

Yes, I made this myself.

FRESH CAUGHT

8x10" acrylic on panel

$125 SOLD

This is what they look like before cooking. They're about 5-10 inches across the back and those claws can really do some damage! You haven't lived 'till one of these guys unexpectedly crawls over your bare feet while you're standing in the surf. It's amazing how high you can jump!

RUNAWAY

8x10" acrylic on masonite panel

$125 SOLD

I'm having a little trouble with my photos. This painting is much better in real life.

There's a lot happening in the shadows that isn't showing up here.
