Illustration Friday: Sea
Girl by the Sea. I painted this way back in high school. My art teacher showed us how to stretch paper, handle a paint brush and mix colors. Best of all, she let us paint anything we wanted. This came straight from my imagination. Used no visual references so it has a naive look to it. I loved beaches, crashing waves and surrealism, can ya tell?

Its got such a nice feel to it! Great character and I like the sand people she is building. The waves are fab too.
simply beautiful! i love the crashing waves behind her, i love how she is couched low and it draws your eyes down and around, love her sand shapes especially the sand hand reaching out! excellent work!!!
Sand people rule! I love that you have these "folks" on the beach. I love the girl on the beach--she looks so happy and intense too. I like your new photo of yourself. Hope you are enjoying your time off with Kai too! I know I love having Candy home.
Keep up the great work [writing AND illustrating!]

Great painting (pretty remarkable for way back in highschool). I'm glad you were able to find this and share it with us here!
hey queet tut, val, laura and steve! i'm so glad you enjoy this image. i takes me way back--when all i painted with was watercolor. i've since explored lots of other media (as you can tell from my other pieces) but painting with watercolor taught me a lot. thanks again for your nice feedback!

Beautiful! I can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the sun on my back. It's transporting. Ahhh, wish you were here.
This is wonderful! I love the subtle tones of the colors, and I love how you've rendered the stand scupltures...yes, I sure do see your love of surrealism! To answer your question, I am a water sign - Scorpoio - so I enjoyed writing about the sea this week:>
This is very nice, I love the soft touch of this painting!
thanks for your nice comments karen, carla and gudbrandsdottir! glad you like the style and feeling of it! yeah, i still love beaches and waves--love living by the ocean! :-)
