"Ocean Tides" Copyright R. A. Symonds 1992, oil on canvas, 20" x 30"
This oil-over acrylic was a rather complex and lengthy project, taking several months to complete. Was on commission and sold it to a friend of mine who was thinking of selling it for $6000 through Ebay, which I thought was crazy!
"Clouds and Tranquility" Copyright R. A. Symonds1981, acrylic on canvas, 32" x 37"
The above acrylic painting was the first image used as the background for all my web pages. Unfortunately, this acrylc painting was permanently destroyed in 1981 by a car that drove right through the front window of a Laguna Beach art gallery where it was on display. Good thing I still have a decent photo of it!
"Crystal Forest I" Copyright R. A. Symonds 2000, image created on computer
With a computer, I combined multiple images from several paintings on various transparent layers to create this effect.
"Crystal Forest II" - Copyright 2000 by R. A. Symonds.
Computer painting/photo image combination. Multiple variations of this image were created.
"Emraced by the Sea" Copyright R. A. Symonds 1992, acrylic then oil on canvas, 20" x 30"
This seascape was inspired by an especially vibrant oceanfront photograph I saw. However, in the process of painting it, I got lost in many different directions, with the finished artwork turning out to be quite different from the original picture.
