This is a new theme that I have decided to work with. I have been taking pictures this past year and discovered one tucked away in my archives that seemed like a good challenge. I wanted to continue my acrylic on paper exploration but just a different subject. Something new and fresh so I decided this picture seemed like a good start. I have a few others that I'll post as the week goes on.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday.

I painted this one today in downtown Newport News, Virginia. It was a pretty windy and chilly day, but I decided to bundle up and go for it.

These boats were docked across the harbor and after a quick pen and ink sketch I decided to give it a go. Despite the conditions I think it turned out pretty well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Lady in Red, Original Acrylic Landscape Painting of a Maine Harbor

This is another piece that is inspired from my trip to Maine this summer. Most of the background is added through my imagination. The original picture just showed the red lobster boat against a bluish green sea.

Hope you like it. My next post will be on Friday, so have a Happy Thanksgiving to all and have a great day.

This piece is inspired from a picture I took while on vacation in Maine. The scene is of a harbor in Stonington which is located on Deer Isle. If you've never been there, I highly recommend it.

I'm keeping this post brief. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Memories on Port Clyde, Maine II, Original Landscape Painting by Robert Joyner


11" x 15"
Mixed Media on 140 lb. Archival Paper

This piece is inspired by a picture I took while on vacation in Maine this summer. It's a scene in Port Clyde that captured the sloping street that leads to the harbor. It's a very small but bustling town that features a ferry that takes you to Monhegan Island. We were actually just cruising around when we discovered this place and decided to stay a few nights.

It was a wonderful visit and I would recommend it to anyone that loves that rustic coastal living and is off the beaten path. That's all for now. Have a great Monday.

I'm back from my trip to Columbus, Ohio. Sorry for not posting in a while, but duty called and I had to go.

I painted this one the day I left along with a few others that I'll post later tomorrow. I've always loved animals and I think cows are totally cool. This piece was painted from a pic I took earlier this summer at Indika Farms in Windsor, Virginia.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening.

This is the second painting I did in plein air of this subject. You can see the first one in the previous post. I changed the layout to feature the boats and reflections. Not sure which one I like the best.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
