Sea, Surf, and New Paints

I was looking through one of my old books about Californian impressionists when I found this detail from Jack Wilkinson Smith's "Sunlite Surf" 

I stretched linen and primed two 18x18s.

One I painted with Tommy Art's Navy Blue, the other with their Turquois.

Step one

All done

Almost done with this one but need to sit a watching for a few hours then fix it.
here is the finished product.
It is going a  fellow Viet Nam vet who lives a stark life and needs a place to vacation. He gets it because I love his granddaughter.
