Beach Beauty

"Beach Beauty"

12"x16"

 oil on board

I was missing the feeling of watercolor painting lately…all drippy, with it's transparent colors.

So this started out as a burnt umber drawing with very wet, thinned oil paint and a fairly big brush.

Then, of course, I wanted to play with adding some color….

just in some areas…give the girl some pow!

I had fun :)  I do my best work when I'm having fun, 

am I repeating myself?  I bet I am….but its cause I think we all do our best creating

when we are knee deep in what we love! 

I love these girls I paint with their colorful hair and goggles

…I'm not exactly sure why…. I just do :)

Makes the painting part feel effortless.

Thank you for looking and reading!
