Boat for Sale with Motor by Carl Bretzke 11×14″ Oil
Carl Bretzke! Wow! I ran across his work via LPAPA Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA), and was I ever thrilled! What wonderful paintings. I love how Carl doesn’t paint the entire canvas, he leaves bits showing through, that intrigues me, adds interest. His nocturnes (I am a fan!) are wonderful – too difficult to choose, so be sure to check out his website!
Stonington Overlook by Carl Bretzke 16×20″ Oil
Another fabulous painting – I love the vantage point. Beautiful light and shadows. Love the homes, the power lines, the water… oh! Everything about it… One thing about Carl’s paintings – he paints a wide variety of subjects. You have to see to believe!
Check out Carl’s 2017 Events as well as his paintings. You will love them!
