Sailing Through Antibes

“ Sailing Through Antibes” is an original oil on canvas, 3D textured painting from my French Riviera series. The scene depicts a sailboat gliding through the serene turquoise waters, surrounded by lush greenery, including palm trees, a pine tree perched on the cliffside, and a blooming cactus. In the distance, the charming cityscape of Antibes rests peacefully beneath a pastel sky, evoking the tranquility and beauty of the French coastline. Inspired by the regatta of sailboats in Cannes, the sailing adventures in the French Riviera, and the breathtaking views of Antibes, this painting captures the essence of coastal life. The natural textures and vibrant colors invite viewers to imagine the gentle sea breeze and the calming effect of this Mediterranean paradise.

I am a self-taught oil painter living half of the year in Birch Bay, WA and half of the year in Oahu, HI. I enjoy painting in a realistic style so that the canvas scenes evoke emotions that allow my soul to travel.

I focus my attention to detail and vibrant use of light and color to capture nature’s awe-inspiring beauty. My passion for the natural world is evident in every dreamlike work of art I create. I absorb healing energy from nature and transpose it to my paintings.

Painting for me is like dreaming, only on canvas.

My favorite subjects include seascapes, flowers, and landscapes. I have studied multiple techniques around the world, combining everything from traditional painting to engraving to form my own unique style. My paintings convey a pleasant, calm joy of life.

They are a window into a special universe filled with happiness and harmony.
