Beach time! USA, Dominican Republic


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some nice warm looking beach scenes to enjoy during this cold and wet winter! The first one was done in Cape Cod, where there are beautiful white sand beaches for miles and lots of hot sun. One thing to be aware of of is that the Atlantic water is very very cold! The scene was neat because the sand dune was like a giant wave, and the sign was like someone surfing on it. 



 

 

 

 

 


The second scene is from Punta Cana beach in Dominican Republic, looking up at one of the palm trees and a local bird with coconuts. That is not what is sound like, its an actual bird, and coconuts, well never mind. I managed to fit the topaz water in at the bottom of the painting, it was much warmer to swim in as compared to Cape Cod. To make all the subtle yellow tones work it is important to keep in some purple tones. The Cape Cod painting has purple shadows and washes on the sand, while the Punta Cana has some purple shadows on the tree and hatch roofs.
