Erie Rest Life Preserver, Horizons Original Painting 12x12

Erie Rest Life Preserver - Original Painting

'Erie Rest Life Preserver' is the first painting I created for "Horizons Port Collection', and is a one-of-a-kind artwork. This piece depicts a little side beach here in town called Erie Rest that's off the beaten track. It's the bright orange life preserver and its sloppy yellow rope loosely coiled and looking so alien in the natural seascape that first attracted me to this image. 

The waves and blowing grasses give the pieces a sense of wind and movement.

This original painting is a unique expression of the end of summer that can be enjoyed all year long in your home or cottage, or as a thoughtful gift to someone special.  

Horizons: The View From Port - I created this collection of paintings as a love letter to the lakeside beach village I live in. The feeling is that of post-tourist season, with the beaches empty and returned to the seagulls and the locals for the last bit of summer. Although it is an expression of a specific place it also has the universal appeal that all lake towns have always had for folks.     

At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.
