Norma Wilson Seascape Beach Coastal Living Waves Ocean Painting Ar

"Catch A Wave"

©Norma Wilson, original oil, 6" by 6"

SOLD

We are so lucky here in Virginia Beach to have warm enough temperatures to enjoy the beach way past Labor Day. When I lived at the beach, I saw may surfers hitting the waves up into November wearing wet suits. They were pretty hard core. I personally love walking on the beach listening to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore. So peaceful. Happy Friday!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Sunset Seascape Art

Day Is Done

$295

 

8" by 16" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

How many times have you stopped what you are doing and watched the sunset at night or gotten up in the morning to see it rise?  I know I sure haven't watched enough, considering that they are incredibly majestic.  I think the people who live close to the land without so much technology and stuff to distract them must have felt more close to God just by viewing nature in all its majesty.  I am lucky enough to live with a man made body of water behind my house and love to see the geese coming and going and the sun glistening on the water.  I thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece while spending time with my friends
Barbara Lively Mastaglio and Scott London.  Both work more on landscapes and encouraged me to try this piece and it was so much fun with their enouragement and input.  

Last night I attended the opening of the Artists Gallery Show, One Foot Squared, and was happy to have four of my paintings in the show.  It was a great show and so good to catch up with people that I hadn't seen in a very long time.  I got started at the Artist Gallery  almost ten years ago with my first studio space and learned so much from the art world from the very generous guidance of the director and fellow artists.  The show will be up through the end of the month so I hope you will stop in and see it!

The last two days I have been working on my newsletter and was so happy when I remembered that I had this painting that I had not posted yet.  It is another inspired by a trip to South Carolina and this is one that I am stumped for a name and hoped you could help me out it.  You can leave me a comment below or contact me by e-mail at normasart@cox.net.   I also got quite a few suggestions from friends on facebook last week which I really appreciate.  If you have not already signed up for my newsletter, please add your e-mail to my sign up box.  I have some valuable coupons in my newsletters and upcoming events and featured artists. Thank you to Roxanne Steed for being my featured artist in this month's newsletter.  In the article I mentioned that she and I had met at a gallery in Virginia Beach but did not say where and it was at a great gallery on Norfolk Avenue right off of Pacific Avenue called The Artists Gallery.  If you are local, you must stop by and see all the beautiful work they have and their Summerscapes show this month is all about the beach and surfing.  It runs through the 17th of August.

Norma Wilson Original Oil Sea Bird On The Beach

9' by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

This past week I have listed several pieces at .99 cent starting bids! There is no reserve!

I love these little birds when I go for walks here in Virginia Beach. They scamper about at such speed scavenging what the surf has just brough in....no need for aerobics classes when you work so hard for your food! Hope you were out enjoying your weekend and taking in some of the wonderful sunshine. I lived vicariously today by painting this bird. I could see the sun hitting the surf and hear the sounds of the ocean. I am looking so forward to going to Chincoteague in September for our annual paint out. A group of us go for the weekend and paint the local scenery and then enter our paintings into the show on Saturday night. Chincoteague has retained much of its small town feel and is known for the wild ponies that live there. I am sure I will be painting some horses and marsh scenes. I also love to go to the beach there and potograph pictures of the children playing in the surf. Thank you to all of you for visiting my blog and to all of my collectors! Click to Bid!
