Surfside Conversation

It’s been several weeks since I last posted a new painting, because I took two weeks to transition from our FL house to our NY house. I’m shocked it took so long, but there are so many little things to catch up on in this nomadic life.

So, I’m still working on some paintings from my Florida beach scenes, while I snap some images up north to paint this summer. This one is of two women in a conversation, with the gulf waters behind them. (In reality, they were on a crowded beach with a blue life guard tower behind them – see the original below.) I edited it heavily to simplify the image and tell the story of the coastal waters. But when I merged it with the water shot, I found the mother taking a photo of her daughter running into the surf. Notice that she has her iPhone raised about a foot and a half from her face; before, she would have been holding the camera up to her eye. Quite a change in less than a decade.

Here's the original photo...

The Architects

These two girls on a beach on Cape Cod found their little brother’s stone structure and went to work rearranging the stones. (You can see him below, in my blog.) I loved the striped bathing suit on the standing girl, but had to strip away all the people on the beach behind her to make the pattern show up.

Blue Beach Chair

I found this man on Siesta Key Beach, my favorite here on the west coast of Florida. But I was attracted to that empty beach chair almost to the surf. I watched for awhile, but never saw its owner.
