"Redneck Riviera"

12 x 7"
oil on masonite
sold

Right now, the thought of relaxing on the beach sounds pretty good. Of course, when I'm on a beach, I'm a non-stop camera bug - so interested in us, the people, and how we set up our spots, group together or prefer alone time. This new painting is a familiar site on a public beach - a family sprawled out, forming shapes of color and light. I just love it.

Please click here for a larger view. This painting is included in my current solo show, now on the walls of the Morris & Whiteside Galleries on Hilton Head Island. The reception is this Friday evening - so pack you bags and come to the beach.

Karin, I think your beach paintings are my favorites. The colors are always clear, crisp and gorgeous. This one makes me want to get to the coast asap. Thanks for the spring fever inspiration!
