Bald Head Island Cottage

Sea Oats, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel

This is one of my favorite houses and I have painted it before.  This time I really wanted to capture the brightness of the sun on the roof so I put a little more warmth into the roof and coolness into other areas.
Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing this, otherwise it will be going soon to a gallery at the coast.  It's that time of year already when I start on lots of beach paintings.
This is my painting for the thirty paintings in thirty days challenge by Leslie Saeta,  a wonderful artist who lives in South Pasadena, California.  Click HERE to see other paintings in the challenge.
