Our family enjoys getting together at New Brighton Beach on the California coast.
Katie Powers took some wonderful photos of the beach activities. Using one of those as a reference photo, I was able to explore the surf and atmosphere of the day. It suggests the foggy offshore haze typical of the area but still a sunny day on the beach.
It is very tempting to put lots of other focal points in a scene like this. I liked the way this worked with our view point lowered to their level or even a bit below it.
I'm in love with this picture! So cute! It's perfect dad!
ReplyDeleteLiam and Gwen were enjoying the sand covered beach and each other.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful family moment.
After drying it will need varnish
This is so sweet. Beautiful painting at our favorite place. It reminds me of a watercolor.
