Randies Copies of Beautiful Paintings

I have always loved fine art and I wanted it in my home. So when I would see a painting I liked I figured out how to re-create it - usually from an image no larger than 3"-5". I have never been to school to learn how to paint. I just figured it out reading and experimenting. From top to bottom - Autumn Gate - Alex Butirsky, Big Sur -  ?, Bird on Twig, 1928 , The Canoe - Daniel Smith, Christ Walking on Water - Julius von Klever,  American Landscapist, Enchanted Forest, Girl With Pearl Earring - Vermeer, Mountain Goats - Michael Coleman, The Young Shepherdess - William-Adolphe Bouguereau

A baja sunrise - oil painting of K38

My beach house lies on a south facing beach, so the sun comes up to our left as we look out to the ocean. Some mornings an ethereal orange glow appears just after sunrise, which I hopefully have captured in this oil painting. What is particularly beautiful is how the first sun rays hit the white water as it tumbles down the face of the wave.
