RED HOUSE, PINK HOUSE Tami Louco $525 Oil Painting - 12" H, 12" W Framed - Total: 18" H, 18" W This bayside view appealed with the island style architecture combined with color and energy. The negative spaces (shapes between the objects) interested me and the challenge of representing receding space while having fun with the bright sunlit colors.

CERULEAN SAIL Tami Louco $550 Oil Painting - 11" H, 14" W Framed - Total: 17" H, 20" W This small sailboat caught my attention at the marina; It seems eager to get out and open the sails.
