Description
These sea oats tower over Playalinda Beach, translated as Beautiful Beach, located in the Cape Canaveral National Seashore.National Park. The wind blows salt and sand through the air obscuring the horizon. The waves were larger than usual humming with energy of an incoming storm.
As I painted, the clouds came and went. Of course, the tide did the same. This particular beach is well known as a "Nude Beach." When I began the painting, I did include a man out in the surf just as I saw him. After a bit, I decided against that. I painted him back out. I thought that this painting might lose a bit of the simple beauty by including a person. It became more important than the landscape/seascape. I wanted this to be all about the simple natural beauty of the beach. I then painted in some birds, seagulls at the shore. Again, I decided that it didn't enhance the scene. I painted them back out, too. Sometimes, simple is best.
I thoroughly enjoyed painting the sand and the convulsions of it around the fence, path and water's edge. Pure joy. I began this painting en plein air but finished it at home.
