"Oh . . . to get my feet in the sand again!"


I'm missing the beach and just had to paint this!  In years past, my family always spent Easter at the beach, and I long for that again. Can you imagine the Sunrise Service at this spot? The next best thing is to capture my memories in a painting. This is a view, as I remember it, of the dunes outside the beach house where I spent many summers. I'm especially intrigued with the interplay of complementary colors in this scene. I know you can't imagine that I would be awake at sunrise, but this is the way I remember the sun coming up over the ocean early in the morning. This painting brings me back to that moment.
