Meet at the Beach

Why meet at the beach? Good grief why not meet at the beach, right? But, before reading on, if you want more information about me, check here.

Too Early to Meet at the Beach

Maybe it’s a bit too early to meet at the beach, right? And, that is exactly why I start thinking about the beach this time of year. The allure and lure of the sunny, warm days of the beach start calling my name. So, that’s why I paint the beach. And, these are both paintings from my imagination. I also am including a Master Copy of Emil Carlsen’s beautiful view of the beach.

So, at least if I can’t go to the beach right now, I can imagine it. And, I shouldn’t really complain. It’s pretty mild here in North Carolina right now. In fact, today it’s down right warm.

Anyway, here’s your virtual view of the beach! Image 1 is 7×5 inches painted in oils on panel. Image 2 is a painting I copied by Emil Carlsen. Painting this serene beach scene helped me think differently about clouds. I could actually see the top (sunny), side and bottom of the clouds in this painting. And, that’s what’s so fab about doing these copies. And, image 3 is another beach scene but I shifted the focus from the sky to the waves and sand. It, like image 1, is 7×5 inches on panel. None of these are for sale right now. But images 1 and 3 will be framed and ready for purchase at the Forest Park Art Walk in April.
