Original.  I painted this in February 2014 when most of North America was either freezing or busy clearing snow from their driveway.  Just a reminder that the sun is ALWAYS shining somewhere in the world, no matter what you are going through.  This philosophy applies figuratively or metaphorically !

Original. Live by the beach.  Paint the beach.  We try and walk/run the beach in the wee small hours of morning.  No two days have ever been the same.  On the seawall, there is a line of lost flip flops, firepits are reserved with a stack of logs, yellow warning flag is posted, a little girl abandons her Barbie doll in the sand for her new boogie board, everybody is walking their dog, seagulls stare you down for a few crumbs of your starbucks donut.  Shipped with the assurance of FedEx.

Original.  Live by the beach.  Paint the beach.  My new catch phrase for 2014.  A 180* view of the Pacific literally is the morning alarm clock.  The ocean never looks the same, day to day. It's reality entertainment and I love it.  You will enjoy this original oil with all the brushwork.  I ship with peace of mind: FEDEX.  It is a little bit more but we both will know that the painting will be delivered in 2-3 days and in one piece. 

This is an original work of art by California artist, Nancy Tokos, member American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.  Oil on gesso'd masonite.  Safely packaged and ready to frame but please allow 1-5 days for shipping.  Seascapes are very handsome in a wooden frame, my favorite is barnwood found at Frame USA http://www.frameusa.com/.

* colors may vary slightly between the actual painting and the image on your computer due to my digital camera settings, time of day the photogrsph is taken and the monitor you are looking at right now. *

WHALE OF A NIGHT

Whale of a Night
Original
Oil on Winton oil paper

SOLD

Original.  If you live in San Diego or have ever visited Southern California, a popular activity is to take one of the 3 hour whale watching tours.  Recently,  we toured on the "America" which is a 139' replica of America's Cup sailboat.  Hah.  Sailing vessel would be more appropriate.  It was a magnificent day and yes,  spouts were viewed far away and then the boat went in closer and there were a couple tails.  They are not loners. A nice painting to recall this adventure ~  This will arrive with a nice white mat and white frame, ready to hang.  Looks really nice,  I have to admit.

Original.  What would a week themed with England be without a Knight ? There are some days when I think about : what should I paint today.  A hunk in shining armour is perfect excuse to get busy with brush strokes, so I did.  This is a PERFECT GIFT for your single galpals !!!  If you do not see what you need, be sure to contact us for a custom painting.  I ship using FEDEX because I am able to sleep knowing you will have the painting in 2-3 days.

Original.  There was one summer in South Oxfordshire that was very very very hot.  I'm talk'n 30C (or about 95F).  We just sat in our boat and floated down the Thames, morning noon and night and let me tell you, in the summer, the sun sets around 10:30PM !  I have a personal affection for this painting so I'm going to miss it.  I ship with the assurances of FedEx.  It does cost a bit more but you will receive in 2-3 days.  A lovely frame is included and wired and ready to hang and enjoy.  And enjoy, you will.

Original.  Our garden in the english countryside was visited by many lovely little birds, but this Robin was the one that reminded me of the states.  I also learned that the robin keeps its bright red breast year-round and the male AND female look identical.  Now you know.  I like to ship with the assurance of FedEx, my collectors like to receive their purchase in 2-3 days.

Original.  The title is meant to be poetic.  She is leaning against the window of a horse drawn carriage.  When she arrived, her hair was pinned up and now it cascades down her cape.  This is intended atop a piano, or fireplace mantle or perhaps, a nightstand.  The red border is for online display purpose and not included.  The paper is slightly tinted with watercolor.  A lovely frame is included and shipped via FedEx so you will have within 2-3 days.

Original.  The elegant four-wheeled horse drawn carriage pulled away from the mansion.  The cord of silver thread opened the velvet curtain. With a slight turn of her head, the Lady cast her eyes towards me.
