LONGBOARD, 6x8


This is from a photo taken last summer at the beach. Is it just me, or, has this been an extremely long winter? Is it summer yet?

Carol, I especially love how you painted the board on the left. The brushstrokes and values are perfect!

Love the colors, Yes your right!!! Winter seems to be dragging it's heels and won't quite let go. Just giving us tantalizing glimpes of summer. Honor

I had to put on the air conditioner on last night so it's almost here.

I love this. The back lighting really makes the figures pop.

Thanks Carol- I just added you to my links too. I agree, support the locals! I love the thick & loose brushwork in your paintings...something I aspire to.

It's feeling wintery here, so it must start to be summery there pretty soon. Love this, but then I love the way you use your colours and your brushstrokes.

Beautiful painting, Carol. Great composition and you captured a beautiful time of day.
