Guardian Over Passing Storm - sold


6"x8" oil on linen mounted on board, plein air painting done at Dam Neck beach, VA

Well, I have not sat at the beach to paint in a long while... now I remember why. Unless you have a bit of protection, it can get dicey if the wind picks up! All in all, it went pretty well. I missed the showers, had some interesting stormy skies/color of ocean to catch. It was so much cooler than yesterday when it hit the hundred mark in some areas here. Today it was low 70s (judging by what I heard on the radio this morning). When the sky gets that 'angry' look, all the colors you're 'used to' seeing at the beach change! And it the weather teaches you not to futz about, just lay down the color you see & get on with finishing up. A good challenge to take on every once in a while!

Oh did you ever get that sky right. We just had a gorgeous sunny day and all of a sudden the sky grew dark and the rain came. Heavy rain and cool air. Fifteen minutes later it was over like it never happened.
I don't know if your beach rain let up, but hey, I'm in New England. If you don't like the weather , wait 5 minutes or maybe 15. Love the painting.
