West Austin View 24"x24"
Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas
SOLD
 
This is an enlargement of one of my favorite 12"x12" paintings. It's a simplified view of Lake Austin looking west. I am enjoying focusing on shapes, forms, color and texture.

Beach Time ©

©2014 Debbi Smith Rourke
Beach Time 8"x8"x1.5"
Oil on 1.5" wide gallery-wrapped canvas / unframed (no frame needed)
I painted this from a photo I took while vacationing at on the Mayan Riviera a couple of years ago at Grand Velas. It is an abstracted or simplified representation using techniques I learned from the fabulous California artist and generous instructor Sandy Ostrau. I love my beach time and this painting takes me back to this memorable adventure.
