Post 223: Nags Head, NC Beach Scenes on Wooden Plaques

Artworks - Nags Head, NC Beach Scenes on Wooden Plaques

I've been sitting on this post to close to a year! I painted these plaques for an aunt who needed four, for her four kids. They ALL love the beach - Nags Head is a destination for them every year. So these wooden plaques are a tribute to the years they have all spent time together at -  Nags Head, North Carolina as a family.

I'm not sure which cousin got which plaque, but I would LOVE to know and see it!

Each of the wooden plagues (unless noted below) have an ocean view painting with real sand and real seashells in the foreground. Of note also is the Nags Heard, NC mile marker signs which is in the vicinity of where they typically stay while at the beach. (I believe I did add the mile marker signs to all of them...probably after these pictures were taken.)

You may notice that there are more plaques than I have listed here. True. I gave the Blue Ridge Shores in Louisa, Virginia (Lake Louisa) plaque to my brother and sister-in-law. That one does not have sand on it.

The lighthouse and the rainbow plaques are still for sale and will be on another blog post. I've been keeping these artworks under the radar for the most part and away from cousin-viewing until Christmas of 2021. Merry Christmas by the way!

Post 218: East Coast Beach Sunrise In Progress

Painting Name: East Coast Beach Sunrise

The inspiration of a sunrise on the East Coast of the United States.

Price: $Pending

Edition Year: 2021

What Brought About this Painting?

I haven't traveled through the United States all that much so my "view" is limited as far as sunrises. I have been to a few of the beaches in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida a few times to see the sun rise out over the water with many of those views being quite spectacular. 

A beautiful sunrise is a great way to start a day, in my belief. We have to remember who our Creator is and the beauty of the world He (originally) gave us. Like the beauty of a rainbow, a colorful sunrise, really the breaking of a new day can be such an inspiration to thank God for that love He hands to us and for us each and every hour of every day.

The actual inspiration for this painting came from a picture my cousin, Dwayne Jackson took and he commissioned a painting from me based on that image called, "Sunrise at Nags Head, North Carolina". See post https://donnascavepainting.blogspot.com/2021/04/sunrise-over-nags-head-north-carolina.html

I knew I wanted to paint more sunrises, so this painting is a continuation of that theme.

I have only been to California once to see the sunsets out over the water to the West (and WHY I don't seem to have pictures of that, I do not know.) I'm not sure their sunsets can be as awesome as an East Coast sunrise!

Post 103: Sunrise Over Nags Head North Carolina, 16x20 Acrylic Canvas

What Brought About this Painting?

I have a cousin that is a very good photographer. Wait. I have several cousins that are VERY good photographers. One of my cousin's that took the photograph wanted a painting done from a photo so here is the result.

This was a fun painting to do - because of all the colors! I think I used every color known to man, or at least a version of it.

I think I am about done with it. I am still studying the canvas to see if anything feels odd or out of place. If I change anything, I'll update the photo(s).

Now for the actual photo (below) that the painting (above) came from...

Some artistic license, but the general atmosphere is there I believe. 

And the proud owner of the painting...April 30, 2021
