oil on gessoed paperThis is my entry into Irit Bourta's moleskin for the Flying Moleskin project. Irit asked that we do something in her book to represent where we live. I live in sunny, southern California, and it would be hard to represent it without having a beach scene. Of course not everyone here lives at the beach, but we are fortunate to have beautiful weather most of the year and the opportunity to visit the beach anytime.
Ah...wish I could be there for a day! Great work, Dana...love the color!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Composition!
ReplyDeleteWonderful scene, Dana. The colors really do evoke a beautiful day at a southern California beach.
ReplyDeleteOh Dana,
ReplyDeleteI am so lucky. Happy to have this in my book.
beautiful!!!!!!
I can feel the warmth of the sun radiating from the painting, lovely. Beats the 12" of snow I have just shovelled!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, beautiful, Dana. I always enjoy your skin tones. Glad to see you used oil, too. Mine is already dry to the touch so I can mail it soon.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! Dana, one of the things that you do so well is to make me really look at how you use color and how you suggest the figure with a swipe of color here and a swipe of color there. Thrilled to think that somewhere someone can be enjoying a warm sunny day while some of us are just plain cold!
ReplyDeleteDana, I so appreciate your painting because I live close by too and can enjoy this sun. Your piece has such warmth , love it.
ReplyDeleteahhhh, so serene and beautiful. I love all of the warm light. boy do I wish I were there.
ReplyDeleteAre you rubbing it in, Dana!!! We are up to our kazoos in snow here! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene...beckoning...wish I were there....
Beautiful painting for Irit, Dana. Your pieces are always so bright and alive.
