Back to Horseneck Beach

Painted another scene from Horseneck Beach in Westport today.  Just a little 6x6" painting of the dunes.  Now that it's warmed up, I'm in the mood again for summery beach scenes, so I may do a few more.  Hopefully I'll go back to Cape Cod this summer, too, and get even more images to paint.

Recent Painting

"Under the Summer Sun," 10x10"

My last painting before adopting Aggie was "Under the Summer Sun", a beach scene from Pt Judith, RI in front of the restaurant George's of Galilee. In July I'd lunched with a friend and snapped a few pictures of beach-goers, hoping for an interesting shot. Beach umbrellas have become a favorite of mine so I was happy to find them lining the shore, adding color and pattern.

Another day, another painting...

I wasted no time today and started my next painting. It's still in its initial stages, which is the say it's looking a little rough, but it's a slow process.

I was at a beach in Barrington, RI when I saw these women sitting on the sand talking. Sometimes I'll come across a scene like this one and be lucky enough to capture it on film. It's not about copying the photo, but enhancing it and adding something of my own, so in the end it's quite different.
