Way to the Beach

Many families trek by the house enroute to the beach. Some are loaded down with inflatable rafts, umbrellas, chairs and towels. Others are already suited up and only have their shades. Some very lucky ones have a beach pass so everything is in the wagon. Later, they all slowly return from a fun day in the sun.

My Beach


My beach is just down the road from my cottage.  It is a friendly place with lots of kids and families.  I exaggerated the umbrella in the foreground to create the focal point.  I was tempted to put more figures into the painting but didn't want the 'where's Waldo' look.  I will do it again and try that approach.  On any weekend day there are many umbrellas, kids and swimmers.  I am not a beach guy, but do go there with my sketch pad and gather material.  I sketch in the cast shadow of a big beach umbrella.
