Hawaiian Dreams Seascape Oil by P O'Shields

Hawaiian Dreams Oil Seascape by P O'Shields

Original Oil Painting on linen canvas 24 x 36 

A private Hawaiian Beach tucked away, everyone who lives in Hawaii has one special spot. This is mine.

Aloha and Hele Mai,

This is the place that I always go back to when I take time to relax and commune with nature, take part in a little introspection and revitalize my soul with the inspiration nature provides for future paintings. Living in Hawaii for a few years and now visiting there every year to paint renews my earliest memories that connect me to nature. 

I always discover something beneath the surface In Hawaii , emotions tied to the subject matter are an elusive part of art. Every viewer will in their own personal context recreate this special emotion making the painting their own experience.

Florida Everglades Twilight Solice Oil Painting by P O'Shields

Florida Everglades Evening Solice

24 x 36  Original Oil on Canvas - 

Gallery Wrapped Canvas painted around edges

copyright 2010 POShields

Evening approaching in the Everglades is one of the most peaceful times of the day. Birds rush about catching the last rays of sun or their last evening meal.

The Everglades sky changes colours constantly as the light filters through the last clouds left over for the day after the daily afternoon rain. Early morning or late afternoon are my favorite times to paint in the Everglades. This oil painting required many layers of glazes to achieve the glowing tones of colour present. I love painting the Everglades and all Marsh Eco Systems with wide open vistas, there is a feeling that you can see forever.
These fragile systems are critical to preserve in their natural state for all wildlife.

Tuscany Sunflower Series VII Pastel by P OShields

  

Tuscany Sunflower Series VII
 
Pastel 12 x 16 without mat
 Canson Mi-Teintes

copyright 2010 PO'Shields

 My Inspiration: Last of Summer  Sunflowers on the back roads of Tuscany.
When visiting Tuscany each year I paint Sunflowers, Lavender and Olive Trees.  Each Tuscan Sunflower is  different with it's own personality,  thus I usually sketch en plein air
 the one that jumps out at me.

There is nothing more beautiful than the Tuscan fields of golden sunflowers surrounding a golden rustic house with a terra cotta roof.  These are views that I use in large paintings, but for the sketching en plein air there is always one sunflower among the many that calls out to be drawn. I will be posting over the next few weeks series of these plein air sketches. 

Bravissima!
