"Spin"

Raise your hand if as a kid you could do this ride for hours but now you're ready to heave in the first 10 seconds!  Makes me a little queasy just looking at it.  Not sure why I painted it.  ;^)

One of three amusement park paintings I've done recently.

"Anticipation" (SOLD)

Whether you were the one waiting or the one arriving, you can remember the feeling.

"Boats on the Portuguese Coast" (SOLD)

Not a lot going on in this painting, but I guess that's the point.  Just a lazy day on the Portuguese coast.  Fairly thick oil paint.  Used a palette knife to do a little etching.  Really enjoyed that (yeah, painters are easily amused!) and will be doing more in future paintings.

Many thanks to "Sunniest" for the inspiration!
