"Steps to the Beach" Recent painting from Hilton Head






This past week my family had the pleasure of going down to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for a vacation. The company was fantastic (we vacationed with Hal and Stephanie Brown and family) and the weather was very nice. We got in lots of relaxing and playing in the sand and surf.

The house that we stayed in was wonderful - spacious, elegant and graciously appointed, and literally "steps to the beach." I painted a small work (8.5 x 13 inches) on gessoed watercolor paper, of the view down the boardwalk to the beach. The images show the progression and development of the painting, from the gesture to the finished piece. (Actually, in reverse order.)

Keep in touch!
