Another Pacific Painting

I just though I'd share another of the photo paintings from my most recent trip to the Pacific coast of Guatemala.  My daughter wanted to practice gymnastics on the black sand beach.  I had my camera in hand. 

It is another print that will look great when printed to canvas.

For those of you who regularly read my blog, most of my posts are about fine art photography.  However, it's important to stay creative and try different things.  A photo painting might be just the thing to fill your creative need as you're waiting to find the perfect subject for your next fine art shot.

Painting a Pacific Sunset

I didn't do a great deal of fine art photography on our vacation to Guatemala over the Christmas break.  We spent about six day between the holidays on the Pacific coast, where most of my photos were of family,  ocean sunsets, and relaxing around the pool.  However, some of the photos, especially the sunsets were spectacular.  I decided to have a go at painting some of the sunsets:

 I just goes to show that you should bring your camera even when photography isn't the primary objective.  These paintings should look great on canvas!

If you're in to mysteries and the amazing, you might enjoy the previous entry from my blog:
