LARGE CALIFORNIA PLEIN AIR SEASCAPE by TOM BROWN


"SATURDAY MORNING SURF"
11x17 inch Impressionist Plein Air
Original Oil Painting by Tom Brown


This painting was done at the ocean this past weekend during a Plein Air class I conducted for a group of artists. This painting focused on capturing the swell of the ocean, the spray of the surf crashing on rocks and the movement of the waves. Seagulls occasionally landed atop the huge, craggy rock and added a sense of scale to the composition.

I was pleased with the results and I hope you like it too. If you would like to own this painting email me for purchasing details at tombrownstudio@cox.net

Thanks for looking.

"THUNDERING SURF"
6x8 inch Impressionist Plein Air
Original Oil Painting by Tom Brown


Thundering waves pounded these ocean rocks with a deafening roar. The spray flew high into the air, misting over me as I worked. It was an exciting day for painting at the ocean.

To capture the spirit and energy of the moment I used bold, dynamic strokes of thick, juicy oil paint. This one was all about my emotional reaction to the scene.

No fussy details here; when I felt I had captured the essence of the scene the painting was finished.
