Walking away from someone? Just looking out at the beautiful beach?" I love 'fill-in the blanks' paintings! I'll be cheesy - I think she is waiting to see someone in a yellow jogging suit.

I've loved the challenge of that long shape. Painted some as verticals too for an added stretch (pardon the pun!)

The small detail of the people in the background stands alone as a nice painting.

A square format is good for many paintings, but this subject DID beg for panorama, and, as always, your composition is right on.

I can feel the heat of the sun as if I were the woman in the foreground with the glistening shoulder.
