I started this painting with the prettiest wash of permanent rose along with some linen abstract marks and I was sad to cover that up. They always say every great painting has a beautiful abstract underneath and I know this one sure does. I loved painting that gorgeous rich sky and capturing that beauty that dazzled me. Those clouds were heaven sent for sure! I was drawn to the groupings of families and friends huddled under umbrellas and appreciated that they were just happy to be there like I was soaking up the sunshine. As I painted this I thought about all the sweet intimate moments you can have on a crowded beach. Love those little memories where you connect and share a story or a smile in the midst of the sea of humanity:)
