Kids on Beach

3’X5′ oil on canvas

I’ve been working on this Northern California beach scene.  This is a close up of one section.  In the painting there are 6 kids playing on the beach, dragging seaweed out of the water, digging holes, and looking for shells.  I took a bunch of photographs on a beach in Fort Bragg one evening when the sun was starting to set and casting beautiful shadows on the kids and rocks.  This is a big piece for me.  I’ll post pictures of progress.  So far I have all 6 figures and all the surrounding painted in.  Next I need to tackle the epic end of the world ocean scene that’s happening behind them and the rocks.
