Going along with the "paintings to cool you off in the heat" theme that I started last month with my "Pool (& Water) Paintings" post, I thought I would continue today with a few more refreshing paintings of water by a very different artist. Last month I shared the artist Laura Sanders, who does paintings of young girls swimming in pools, lakes, rivers, etc., so to ensure that my male readers don't feel left out, I have included some very male river and water paintings below. Found in the same inspirational art catalog, New American Paintings, Danny Keith paints men swimming in rivers and water in nature, but he has a bit different take on these scenes than Sanders did. I think you'll understand what I mean when you take a look below... ;) See? Totally beautiful depictions of water, totally talented, totally funny, and totally different from Laura Sanders, even though they're both painting very similar subject matter (people in water, that is). These paintings just make me want to say, "Dude." You know? You can see more of Keith's work on his website, here.
Isn't it amazing what one can do with a little bit of oil paint? Makes me realize how much I miss painting, too! Can't wait to get back to it this week... So hopefully these works made you feel a bit more refreshed in this summer heat--or at least gave you the urge to go moon someone :) Namaste! Mary Catherine 7/21/2011 09:34:58 am
