Oldsmar Beach

 

I love the way those branches reach towards the water - just like I keep finding my way to the beach!  I think I'll go back into this one, and remove that far right palm trunk. I was so distracted by sudden gusting winds that I didn't edit that on the spot.  Perhaps I'll do it in my app before attacking it for real!  Painting number 5112 in 5112 days 

Oldsmar Beach

My brother suggested this beach to me this morning so I came to scout it out.  The Mobbly Beach Park is on the trail less traveled so I was able to paint this place in it's natural state.  The tide pulled out a I painted, revealing so much more of the beach as I worked.  It was fun to try to capture the colors as they changed with the light. It seems the ocean is always changing in hue and value, so I jump in and try not to chase that light as I go.  I think I need many more beach days to study all those shifting shades!  Super fun to explore this new beach with paint, it's all about the process after all!
