Red River Beach at Morning

We painted at the very end of Red River Beach. Lots of early morning exercisers turning around and heading back. The view of the dune is North with the shadows of Chatham in the distance. There was no sun. A father and sun chased a frisbee on the beach. It was quiet. The sand was recently cleaned and was so smooth. I added the sailboats for balance and some life. I like the quiet mornings whether it is painting or clamming.

Painting with Inger

Off to Red River Beach once again. Took my friend Inger and we painted the opening to the river. Just a quick sketch and painting. Put the little house in the background for size reference. What a lovely day and the water is still warm. The beach was starting to populate but definitely not to summer time levels. Came home to steamers, lobster salad and hot dogs. Ready for a little afternoon snooze.

Red River Beach, Harwich, MA

Went off with the group for some plein air painting on one of the best summer days. They don't get any better on Cape Cod. This is a very long stretch of beach with multiple jettys. No one was on the beach but the life guards were in their stands. I painted this quickly to catch the glow of the sky. It was clouded over 2hr later. It is a watercolor done on 300lb rough paper which is my favorite.
I have been doing a lot of painting but many have gone off to the framer before I took a pic. It is difficult to photograph when the glass is on. Today, I went to photograph as the framer was here and my battery was dead. The summer is quiet now and the weather so perfect, that I will be out early in the morning.
