Jekyll is one of nearly a dozen barrier islands along the Georgia coast. Jekyll is a Georgia state park, with only 1/3 of the land developed with homes (land is leased from the state), hotels, and recreation sites.

Acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 inches. This painting was completed in a course entitled Coastal Canvas taught by Will Kemp at The Will Kemp Art School. I’ve taken many courses with Will Kemp over the last ten years. I hadn’t taken one in about two years, so when he announced this new course, Coastal Canvas.
The course is presented in six, 20-30 minute lessons. To take the course, go to the Coastal Canvas link, and buy the course. Once you buy it, you own it as it downloads onto your computer system.

Acrylic painting on 8-inch x 10-inch board. An article by Susan Abbott inspired this painting. Her report suggests painting in two colors. She talked about the value of using just two colors, a brown and a blue. In my case, I used burnt sienna & ultramarine blue and a little white (Titanium white). One of her challenges was to paint using just two colors, Edward Hopper’s sailing painting.

Acrylic on gesso smooth board, 11 inches x 14 inches. I was inspired to paint a scene that I found in a book by artist Aimee Erickson entitled Plein Air Techniques for Artists. The book was a gift on my 83 birthday from my brother-in-law, Craig Hannum, Lake Oswego, Oregon. It’s a beautiful book, and it’s especially important because Craig knew Aimee Erickson and had her sign the book with this message: “Hello Jack, Who knows what’s next, Amiee.” If you are an art student, a neophyte like me, or an accomplished artist, this book will extend your knowledge and skill of painting.
