Courtyards

Well it has been so long since I updated my blog, carried away with the usual. Here we go, I will post some new and belated works. Here are some courtyards, I really enjoyed.

I wanted to work on some abstract paintings, I have decided it is not my forte this painting is as abstract, really more impressionistic, as I want to paint. Hope you like it, an old town in the hills of Tuscany perhaps.
Bold use of brush and color in unexpected places.

This painting started as a early evening but I think it turned out to be early morning. Sunrise in Santorini. I love to visit Greece with oil paint, really a limited palette with variations of blues and white. I will always be returning to Santorini, Greece for more studies in oil.

On these hot summer days, I was in the mood to paint water and blooming flowers, I constantly try to adjust the look of blooming flowers/trees. And who doesn't love sail boats?  Nice place to relax, huh?  I love the compliment of blue paint with vivid  hues of the flowers.

New Paintings with Molded Frames "VENICE"

I have painted a pair of paintings Romantic Venice,and hand molded my own frames, they are wired and ready to hang.  We just love the watery canals and gondoliers of this old romantic place in Italy. I wanted to add value to the art and savings to art lovers by producing some paintings that not only go together in a grouping but are also framed and ready to hang.  If you love Venice or have just vacationed there, you can have a wonderful memory in the richness of oils to enjoy every day.

Romantic France

I still find it hard to juggle all the daily routine with my painting, taking photos, listing, gardening, jewelry store and helping family.  Here is a new painting from a place I simply love to visit Strasbourg France. A lovely place also known as Le Petite France,  this European town has artists everywhere, painting everything.  Wonderful coffee, food and of course sweets.  The old world atmosphere in this French town bordering Germany, gives me the most relaxing lazy day feel.  The narrow streets with flowers dripping from almost every window enhances the European ambiance.

Strasbourg France Revisited

It has been slow going since my trip to Texas 1st of December.  Here is a commission I have completed.  Another painting of the European town Le Petite France. This wonderful narrow street had draping vines along the cafe boulevard, rich atmosphere and Great Food!  More work coming soon!

I loved doing this painting, I am a romantic for the glowing lights!  Old European home front bathed in the light of a single lamp. What a warm welcome.

Early Evening in Martha's Vineyard 28x36

Early evening just sunset in Martha's Vineyard.  I wanted to capture the lovely ginger bread houses, flowers and of course the American flag proudly displayed for the visiting presidents! Who doesn't love Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket?  If not in person the virtual tour via the net is sure to please. .http://rbealart.fineartstudioonline.com/

Evening in Italy

I have been in the mood to do more night scenes.  Love all the primary colors!  These paintings really come alive as the light outside dims, they will light up the room, like the lights are really on in the painting. Italy is one of my favorite places to paint, I want the European ambiance to come through the paint.  http://rbealart.fineartstudioonline.com/
