Beach Nut

#1
I feel fortunate to have just celebrated another birthday!  I was also well enough to take a road trip down to the Connecticut shore. The goodness continued with having spectacular weather. It was so warm and beautiful that we could sit on the beach.

I took very few photos, but I did manage to get a couple of shots of the ocean. How wonderful and expansive. I wanted to do a painting inspired by the experience, and thought that I would use a photo as a reference. The picture was simple and bold and I thought it would be easy enough. Ha! It’s those simple shapes that can get you.

Happy birthday Andrea! So glad you were able to take a trip. I can't tell you how many odd-looking watercolors of the beach I have painted! I really like #2 and #5. I love that you share the progression with us. May you have a happy year full of art!
