Away from it All…Painting the Beach

Away from it All...8x10 oil painting

Woke up early this morning and headed to the Studio with my coffee… I needed to paint the Beach!  I’ve spent the past week walking and absorbing the surf and sand  and watching the way the light makes the sea turn a denim blue. I ’ve taken some good pictures but I really wanted  to paint what I felt before the memory fades.  Being in my studio “Away from it all” was heavenly.  I could go for another walk on the beach now but I ’m feeling the pull to go back to paint some more. It’s pretty windy out there and I  don’t like sand blowing in my face so I think I’ll  just wait until things calm down and enjoy the shelter of solitude in my Studio for the rest of the day…
