Original Acrylic Paintings for Sale
Explore original acrylic paintings by Douglas H. Caves Sr., where a familiar house, hard weather, or long horizon becomes a lasting presence in a room.
The Collection
Light, structure, and room to breathe.
Doug Caves returns to places with a particular hold on the eye: a roadside fence under weather, a building set against a changing sky, a shoreline that feels both observed and remembered. In acrylic, those scenes can carry a clear sense of structure while remaining open to atmosphere and surprise.
The available collection ranges from intimate winter views to broad canvases with enough scale to anchor a room. What connects the work is not a formula, but attention to the tension between architecture and landscape, stillness and motion, the familiar and the slightly unsettled.
Each painting is an original made to live with over time. Start with the work that catches you, then let the practical questions of size, setting, and delivery become part of a direct conversation with the studio.

Across The Available Work
Different paintings, different kinds of presence.
For a wall that needs real scale
Approaching, at 36 × 60 inches, is the largest acrylic canvas currently in the collection. A work at that scale can do more than fill a blank wall. It can establish a horizon in a living room, entry, or larger gathering space, giving the eye somewhere to land from across the room.
Before making a decision about a larger work, it helps to mark out the dimensions with paper or painter’s tape. That simple exercise makes the relationship between the canvas, furniture, and ceiling height much easier to read.
For collectors drawn to structure
In works such as The Storm Fence and South Street, Kennebunkport, ME, the character of a built place is part of the subject. A fence line, roof edge, or row of buildings gives the painting rhythm, while weather and colour keep it from becoming merely descriptive.
These are strong choices for rooms that already have their own architecture. The painting does not need to match it. A useful contrast can be enough, especially when the work brings a more open landscape or a sharper shift in light into the space.
For an intimate point of focus
Smaller available works such as Lake in Winter and First Light have a different job. They can sit comfortably above a desk, in a bedroom, beside a bookcase, or within a grouped wall. Their scale invites a closer relationship with the marks, colour, and changing mood of the scene.
A smaller original can also be a thoughtful first acquisition. It gives a collector a genuine piece of the studio’s work to live with now, while leaving room for the collection to grow in its own time.
Choosing Original Acrylic Work
Begin with the feeling the painting brings into the room.
- 01
Look for a scene that keeps returning to you
A painting does not have to reproduce a place you know to feel personal. A low horizon, a dark stand of trees, a sharp house shape, or a rush of colour can be enough to create the kind of recognition that lasts. Give yourself permission to spend time with the image before deciding.
- 02
Use the dimensions to imagine its presence
A smaller painting can become an intimate point of focus. A larger canvas can hold a room together from across the space. Measure the wall, note the furniture and nearby light, and think about whether you want the work to quietly reward a closer look or set the tone when someone enters.
- 03
Ask for the details that make a decision easier
The listing gives you the essentials. The studio can help with the rest: current availability, framing, more photographs, a possible visit, collection, and delivery. Buying directly means you can ask the practical questions without having to guess what comes next.
A Particular Place
Made from observation, not decoration.
These paintings begin with the character of an actual place: the weight of a building, the sweep of a road, the way light catches a field or water. That attention keeps the work grounded, while the finished painting leaves room for your own memory and response.
For collectors drawn to New England scenes across both oil and acrylic, the wider landscape collection offers another way into the studio’s work.

A considered choice, without pressure.
Original work changes a room gradually. It can be the first thing you notice from the doorway, or the thing you return to after the room has gone quiet. When you are choosing, there is no need to have every answer before you make contact. A photograph of the wall, a rough measurement, or simply the title of the work you keep coming back to is enough to begin.
The studio is especially well placed to help collectors compare the available acrylic paintings with the oil paintings in the catalogue. The right choice is not about picking a medium in the abstract. It is about finding a specific work whose scale, colour, and atmosphere feel right for the life around it.

Are the acrylic paintings on this page available?
Yes. This page features available original acrylic paintings from the studio. Each work has its own listing with the medium, dimensions, and current price.
Are these paintings originals or prints?
They are one-of-a-kind original paintings. The studio also offers a small number of signed giclée editions in the wider catalogue, and those are clearly identified on their individual listings.
Can I see more photographs before I decide?
Yes. Contact the studio about a work and ask for additional views, close details, or help considering it in your room. A studio visit may also be arranged.
How do I know whether a painting is the right size?
Start with the wall and the distance from which you will usually see the work. The listing dimensions are a useful first guide, and the studio can help you talk through scale, framing, and placement.
Can the studio help with collection or delivery?
Yes. Once you have a painting in mind, the studio can discuss the practical details of collection, delivery, framing, and timing with you directly.
What if the work I like has already sold?
