Sunrise on the Ocean painting by Jen Kalz

This morning I spent a couple of hours painting after finishing up with some morning mertings. A friend sent me a picture of the morning sunrise in Florida that became my inspiration for today's painting.

I love painting the water, being a Cancer sign I naturally gravitate to it. There is something very calming about the sound and ryepetition of the ocean. Bucket list item: move to the beach and wake up to something like this every morning.

Middle of Nowhere painting by Jen Kalz

I started tonight's piece yesterday before heading to bed. When I got home from work this evening I stared at the canvas to figure out what else should be added. After digging through images online I finally settled in the sand dune with the palm trees.

This painting is also on an 8x10 canvas completed with acrylic. My oldest son calls this the "Bikini Bottom" painting. I simply chuckle every time he does.
