Back to the Beach

We had two incredibly gorgeous days at the beach this weekend.
I was excited to gather new reference material
of my favorite subject matter!

"Holding Court"

8 x 10 oil 

I didn't have my oils, 

so I did this gouache study from our deck.

Then did a few ink sketches. 

Working out potential value patterns.

These all have potential for paintings...

Summer is here! 

I'm excited to see where it 

takes me.
