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...

Website Changes & New Focus Part 1

Bahamian Twilight This is the first part of a short 2 part post. I thought I should explain a few things about my recent websites updates. My Website ( www.EdwardMcCarthy.com ) has taken on a new look and focus as an artist. The direction I'm focusing on as an artist is all about my Romantic Realism work. This is not something I just happened to come up with. It's actually something I been struggling with for a long time. I've been painting in the pointillist style since before 1980 (over 35 years). I've been painting using the romantic style since 1997 (nearly 20 years). The problem is that painting in two distinct styles is actually difficult and confusing, for my self, for galleries and for collectors. I felt that with the recent move and other changes, this was an appropriate time to make a break and focus on just one style. If you're an artist reading this, and you're working in 2 or more styles, my sug...
