A quality original, signed, 100% hand painted, acrylic painting
John was inspired to paint this beach scene after visiting Watch Hill Beach in Rhode Island, one of his favorite beaches on the east coast.
In the foreground of this painting, we see seagulls mulling around on the beach near the shore line. In the middle ground we see more ocean, beach and lovely houses behind the beach. Lastly one will get a sense of the end of the peninsula with the lighthouse in the background. The Beach at Watch Hill is a great beach scene painting. This painting will brighten up any room in your home.

The painting does not require a frame because it is Gallery wrapped
Gallery wrapped: This is a method of stretching an artist’s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides of the stretcher bar and is secured to the back of the wooden frame. The frame is 1.5 “thick. The painting continues on to the edges of the canvas.
Process: It takes John many hours to produce a quality painting. The first task is to prime the canvas and make a rough sketch on the canvass. The next step is to decide what the dominant colors and tones are and to loosely paint these areas, or block them in.
He spends a considerable amount of time on the next step, which is working on refining the shapes and colors. Lastly, more details, tones, and highlights are added in.
The rich vivid colors in John’s paintings are achieved by laying down several coats of custom blended paint. This painting will look good anywhere.
Two coats of an acrylic medium to seal the painting are applied after a 24-hour period. Finally, two coats of satin varnish are added in for protection and to produce a nice soft low luster sheen.
John loves painting and enjoys expressing and sharing what he sees.
