I have been going to the beach, obviously. I decided to bring the painting supplies with me. It was quite a site, me in front of my portable easel, brush in hand, grooving to my ipod while trying to capture the beauty and serenity of the surf. Several people stopped by to ask me about what I was doing and the lifeguards came over just to compliment my work.
Painting can be quite an isolating activity so I always happy to engage onlookers. I am looking forward to being outside while the weather is nice. It will also be nice in the fall when I begin selling some of these pieces at craft fairs to have work that reminds them of the summer months.
I don't know what made me think that today would be a great day to go take pictures on the beach, but that is exactly where I went. What an amazing time I had. The sand was covered in snow, as was everything else. It was quite treacherous getting down to the beach on the slippery steps! The sky was blue and clear; the sand was an in contrast to the white powder of the snow. Seagulls and other locals were enjoying the cool breeze on their walks by the water.
