At the Beach

This past couple of days I was lucky enough to spend some time at the Washington Coast.  Since it was a holiday weekend, crowds were the norm.  People of all sorts were wandering along the shoreline looking for treasures in the surf, having picnics, wading in the waves, and having fun.  An elderly man walking along the water's edge inspired this little 4x6 inch painting.  I love the shapes of people--not the angles of bathing suit models, but the shapes of everyday people.  This guy is one of those everyday folks that are the most fun to paint.
