Catching The Breeze

Palms at the beach, blue sky’s with cotton candy clouds; sea oats dancing in the breeze. One of those exciting paintings that brings the landscape to life. Usually when I go to the beach I paint the ocean. But sometimes I look the opposite direction and watch the clouds build up over the land. The wind blows through the palm fronds and pushes the clouds further into the distance. Shadows crisscross the sand and create movement at your feet. I feel like I am at the beach, without showing the ocean in the painting.
