Village On A Dune

Village on a Dune
This is my latest painting. It's a fairly large canvas by my standards, measuring 36"x36". Works like this and 30"x40" and the 24"x48" sizes are about as large as I can paint in my studio. I just don't have the time or space to work much larger. And works that sit on my easel for very long periods begin to loose their appeal for me.
Anyway, this painting is what I would call a painted parable, a contemporary scene with an inspirational foundation. 
This is my ETSY writeup:
This painting depicts a small coastal village set on a dune, at night, under a crescent moon. The surf rolls in and out as soft fluffy clouds drift by.
Th e inspiration for this painting comes from the Bible, the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 14. The passage is a quote by Jesus that states we are to be light unto the world, just like a city on a hill which can't be hidden, we are to let our light shine.
I just extended the analogy all the way to the beach!
This original acrylic on canvas painting, measures 36 inches by 36 inches, and is being sold UNFRAMED. Free shipping and handling, in US. Enjoy!

Website Changes & New Focus Part 2

Beach Romance, 16x20 Pointillist Painting This is the second part of a short 2 part post. As noted in my last post, I explained what Romantic Realism was and why I was moving forward as a Romantic Realist painter. I thought I should also explain why I no longer planned on painting as a Pointillist painter. As a result, my Pointillist art will no longer be a focus on my website at, https://edmccarthyart.com.   For many years, prior to painting as a Romantic Realist, I painted using a post-impressionist style called, Pointillism. I still have many Pointillist works available, and so I felt readers would appreciate a short brief concerning this style I worked with for so long. Pointillism, was the first style to come about after Impressionist. It is a technique whereby paint is applied closely together using tiny dots, daubs and/or dashes. Mixing dots of specific colors can create a new color. These new colors are not produced physically o...

What's In A Name Part II

I was asked by several friends if that really was a painting or a photograph that I posted on Facebook and on my website. Well, the following images are a sequence of shots that basically amount to a demonstration of the construction of how this painting was put together. OK. This is just a peek at me working at the easel, but not on the painting under discussion.  I work with acrylics on canvas, or hardboard panels. I'm also sorta anal about keeping a fairly neat studio.   This is the painting I'm discussing. I prefer to work in layers.  My feeling is that this is how the world we see, really exists. I start with the sky way in the distance, and just like reality,  I add the next closest layer, distant clouds, mist, etc.  and move  progressively closer to the viewer.  No clouds in the piece, but a very definite haze surrounding the sun. Here  I begin building up thin layers of haziness in the atmosphere...
