This is an original watercolor of a crystal blue abstract seascape, perfect for adding a peaceful feeling of ocean waves to your beach decor!
The painting is on archival 8×10 watercolor paper.
The inspiration for this seascape painting came from a beach on the Spanish island of Formentera, and the beautiful blue hues of the Mediterranean Sea!
The canvas is made of Texas-grown organic cotton and is hand-stretched and hand-primed. The wood stretcher bars are FSC-certified and the all-natural gesso primer is made of limestone power, French marble dust, water and a touch of honey.
The canvas measures 8″ in height and 20″ in length.

It’s been several weeks now that my painting activity has slowed way down. What can I say, I’ve been busy with other things! An artist also needs an artistic break every now and then to regain inspiration.
A few days ago I put brush to gessobord and came up with this small “Mediterranean Blues and Whites” painting for my wife and I to hang in our kitchen. The painting is based on a photo I took in Ibiza.
The Mediterranean region has long been an artistic inspiration for me, from the cultures and foods to the landscapes and seascapes.
Today I finished another 5″ x 7″ oil painting on eco-friendly gessobord panel.
Haven’t done as much art lately since I’ve been so busy painting our house, but looks like the house painting will slow down soon!
This painting is inspired by the setting sun on the beach in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
Continued progress of this oil painting of a beach sunset in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica!
This scene is from a long, warm evening in laid-back Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Still a few more layers of paint to add, but the “bones” of the painting are set!
Enjoy the warm colors of the sun setting over gentle water with this oil painting of a Costa Rican sunset:
If you ever travel to southern Spain and want to go to the renowned Costa del Sol beaches, may I suggest an alternative to the bustling areas around Málaga?
Nerja:
Nerja is nestled into the east end of the Costa del Sol.
Beautiful cliffs, turquoise sea, Spanish cuisine, beaches, what more could you want?
When my wife and I were there, we stayed in a very small village next to Nerja named Maro, and took day trips to the beaches of Nerja.
Boy was it an adventure to get here. Playa Santa, literally translated as “Holy Beach”, lies somewhere along the southwestern coastline of Puerto Rico.
During our vacation in Puerto Rico, we stayed in San Juan and rented a car to drive around the island. After passing through the southern city of Ponce, we kept driving west and stopped at a gas station. I asked if there were any local beaches they’d recommend, and the guy gave some loose directions to get to one.
Relying on a mix of his directions and the usually-correct-but-not-always compass in my head, we drove through several country dirt roads before finally coming to this beach, named Playa Santa. It was a hidden gem!
