Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Seascape Painting | California Sun by Carol Schiff |m 5x7" Oil

SOLD

Shelley Smart documents the day to day activities at the beach on her great blog "A Year at the Beach". She is a fantastic artist and photographer and was nice enough to share some of her photography with me. So, I painted this little seascape from her reference.

How could I turn down a scene like this! I still didn't have it out of my blood, so I decided to try a little acrylic abstract based on the same reference.

SOLD

Shelley, thank you...I hope you approve.
