KONA

Welcome.

Hi everybody. "KONA" is my watercolor on watercolor board 15" x 20".

He was all heart and kindness. This was a commission. Kona and I became good friends when I cared for him when just a pup while his humans were away. He never forgot the days we romped on the beach! It always brought a huge amount of joy to spend time together. This portrait stands now as a cherished reminder of his light. You will find more of my Coastal Journey art https://alanphillipstudio.com/

I am available to discuss portraits of your friends and family from the animal kingdom. Just drop me a note at alanlovesart@gmail.com with an inquiry. If you dig what you are seeing here I hope you will share. Catch up with me for a follow on Facebook!

Thank you for looking at my art today.

The Gift Of The Sea

https://alanphillipstudio.com/

Welcome.

Hi everybody. One of the great pleasures of my life is the sea, the shoreline and what I find on my Coastal Journey, what my Coastal Journey finds in me.

I marvel at the birds, the waves, the clouds, the rhythms, the dunes and the overwhelming sense of serenity and well being from spending time there.

It is my intention that some of that vibe comes into your world today when viewing my photography.

Feelin Good

Welcome.

Hi everybody. I first heard the song "Feelin Good" when I was a kid in my mother's house. Nina Simone was the vocalist. I believed every word she sang.

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Songwriters LESLIE BRICUSSE, ANTHONY NEWLEY

A Little Thrill At Pete's Bar & Grille.

Welcome.

Hi everybody. Well, it is nature after all! I like to step outside the lines occasionally just for fun with my art photography. This is one of those times!!

It’s overwhelming.  I’m exhausted. It’s the work, the stress, the POTUS tweets

My remedy is to grab my baby and head on down to Pete’s

I say “Darlin, the madness is too much and we’ve got to get out!!”

She smiles. “I’ll put on my red dress and my high heel sneakers lover. No need to shout!”

I say “Honey, you are lookin’ so tempting and sexy  tonight

You better wear some boxing gloves in case Doug Oakes might wanna fight.”

We waltz right in,  greet our tribe and hoist a few

Most nights it’s the nest over which the cuckoo flew

We lay our quarter down,  pick up a cue

The eight ball is my pal tonight. Stick and ball know what to do

Now we’re feelin ahh-right,  a full adjustment from our week of troubles

Staggering outside we laugh out loud at the sunset in our beer goggle bubbles!

The Soaring Soul

Welcome.

Hi everybody. Wouldn't it be fun to be a bird? Just for a minute, an hour? Lift off and fly wherever you want. I see the kite boarders and the folks with the power parasailing-gliders and boy does it look like a blast having all that air time and being in control of it.

I have experienced air time at different occasions in my life. It is exhilarating and peaceful at the same time. This is one of my art photographs expressing the idea of freedom in gliding over the land and the beauty of the coast.
