Oil study


I made this last year deep in the heart of fall at crab meadow beach in Northport, LI. It is an oil study. An oil study is done on location in oil paints to get down as much information as you can so you can go home and make a larger painting in the studio. Almost like a digital camera except it smells different. I prefer moody, turbulent landscapes over sunny, mid-day "luncheons on the lake" pictures. If any one wants to buy this one it may be a bit more finished when you get it as I have been fussing with my old canvases. My oil studies generally fetch around $300.00.
