"COOLING CALM"

 Looking at the finished painting  all I could think of was what a beautiful blue sky and how calming and inviting it was. I used warm and cool blues with hot highlights of the sun rays breaking the edges of the cloud. The ocean looks on fire and yet the mood overall is cool and calming .

Night time lake view with the moon topping the distant tree line. Then the reflection hit the water and it turned into a moment with the maker. since words can describe what you are feeling at the time maybe a picture can. Sit and enjoy the moment with me.

"OPEN FIELD"

SOLD

"Artist Gallery"

"Open Field" I like this title because the the view is open to all however  it was posted no trespassing. This brings me to a question does the title on the painting matter. I say this because I was first going to call this piece "No Access". However I have heard comments about the titles of painting that seemed to bother ? confuse the viewer. So Does that really matter to you?
Well back to the painting this view went on for ever it seemed. The spot just was so calming and relaxing I really enjoyed it. The other calming effect was all the blues war and cool and of course the breeze that afternoon was delightful.

" Water on Fire " SOLD

" Water On Fire" By Artist Doug Carter,.The power of the sun it brings life to everything we know and see because of it. No wounder it has fascinated us since the beginning of time. This shows how light will glow even through a solid tree and all its branches full of leaves. I challenged myself to capture this moment very happy with this attempt. The reflection in the water was just a bonus . Looks like water on fire sounds like a good title.
