From my recent trip to the beach. An outdoor still life. I painted them because of the gorgeous reflections in the wet sand.

Look at This One

I wish I lived closer to the beach so I could go out regularly and get pictures of scenes like this. Alas. I guess it'll just have to be an excuse to take more vacations. Poor me.

Mom Needs Shade

This little girl was entertaining herself with a dance while her mom took a snack break in the shade of the pier. I picked the reference with the best pose, and then had to move her over a bit so she didn't line up in funny ways with the posts. It was challenging, but I'm happy with the result. : )

Here's another NC beach scene. It's so fun to interpret the wet sand!

I've been busy doing summer things the past couple of weeks, so I haven't been painting or posting as much. I hope you're enjoying the summer too!

Family Time

Here's a sweet little family at the water's edge. I had to combine a few photos to get the poses I wanted, but I think it was worth it. I love how the water looks green when it's about to wave. : )

Time to Reapply

When I got home from the beach someone asked me if it had been crowded. Normally I would consider crowded a negative, but I happily answered "yes!" Not that it was packed, but there were definitely people everywhere you looked. Happily. : )
