Walking on the beach in town the other morning, I spotted this open shell and thought it just needed to be in a painting. It wasn’t the shell so much as the little ripples in the beach itself. As the tide goes below normal low, these quiet muddy beaches become exposed to us, showing all sorts of stuff not commonly seen. One of the most interesting parts of them, to me, are these little swales set up by the gentle wave action. These are only about 12″ apart and an inch deep, and they clearly show the soft wave energy in where normal “surf” is about 4″ high. Trough, hill, trough, hill – and on into the beach. It makes for an interesting subject to paint. In an hour, this scene was gone from view, covered by the next inbound tide.

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on stretched canvas, 8″ x 10″ and $100 unframed.
A nice hardwood frame makes it a total of $130 and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.

Thanks for reading this week.
