Kiss at Dusk

This is El Morro, the fortress on the sea in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Two lovers kiss as the sun sets over the turbulent waters of the Caribbean.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all my treasured friends of PIL.

Love,
Rene

Micheal Giddens

Hi Rene - We are both seascaping! Love the tower and lovers and entire scene. It IS a Rene. I think the hard thing with seascapes is to make it look like you or I painted it. Mine seem to take on a slightly surreal aspect, and I don't actually try to do that. So I will try and go with the fantasy ... Are you going to do some more? This could be a series - you've got such a wonderful theme started. Lettie has lost some weight - and is happoer because of it. Catch you soon, Big Hug, Mike

Micheal Giddens

Hi Rene,I did not know the seascape was on the popular (lah de Lah) page. Actually, it is nice to get this encouragement because outside of flowers and birds, I have not painted many other subjects. I always laugh because Gary Jenkins told me "You think we artists know what we are doing; but we really don't" I know he does, but heartening advice. Enjoy Avatar ... I will get back and tell you of another series you may enjoy. Hug Mike

Artist Statement
for Rene Ury

United States

I have always been passionate about art -- but am something of a "late bloomer." I took one drawing class and one watercolor class after my son left for college five years ago. Because school no longer appeals to me, I continue to learn from books, magazines, websites, art fairs and the examples of others (like you!). The need to create and share drives me on, and I cherish this site and all its participants.
