This abandoned boat on the beach, "Rhapsodic Blues", was inspired by a vacation on a small island in the Florida Keys, where I came across this enticing scene.  This 14"x11" acrylic palette knife painting is rendered in the impressionistic style of Vincent Van Gogh, one of my favorite artists.

This painting is sold, but I love to paint commissions and can render a similar scene for you.  The great thing about commissions is that you choose the size of the painting that best suits your needs.  My work is usually purchased to create a focal point in a room and to bring uplifting colors and feelings into a home or office.  Click on the link below to see what my patrons say about commissioning a work of art.

 "A stricken tree, a living thing so beautiful, so dignified, so admirable in its potential longevity, is, next to man, perhaps the most touching of wounded objects." Edna Ferber

This painting depicts two intertwined trees standing in an open landscape beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The trees are gnarled and expressive—thick, textured trunks twist upward, giving way to long, spindly branches that stretch outward in all directions like reaching arms. Their bark has rich earth tones—warm browns, golds, and hints of deep rust—adding vibrancy even in a stark setting.

The background consists of rolling, sienna brown earth and a turbulent sky filled with layered clouds in shades of gray, white, and hints of blue. The brushstrokes are bold and sweeping, especially in the sky, creating a sense of movement and approaching weather. The contrast between the warm tones of the trees and the cool, brooding atmosphere heightens the emotional impact.

Overall, the artwork evokes feelings of resilience, solitude, and natural drama—almost poetic in the way the trees seem to companion one another against the vast, storm-laden sky. The style suggests expressive realism with a touch of impressionistic texture.

Although the original isn't available, this painting is available in a fine art giclee.  People who have bought the giclee, can't tell the difference between the giclee and the original.  My reproduction company is masterful at what they do.
