New work: "Laguna Wave"

I finally finished this little painting! It was started in 2011 and I meant to get on it and get it done last year! It felt great to finish it but I think I liked it better before completion! But the bright colors and summer subject is a breath of fresh air during this winter!

I shot the reference photo during the time my Husband and I spent a few wonderful days at Monarch Bay in Laguna Beach, CA back in the summer of 2009.

"Laguna Wave" is 9 1/2"x14" and painted on Arches hot press paper.

      Thanks, Libby! As you know, I usually do still waters . . . what a challenge this was!

      Thanks, Kathryn! I think the bright colors give it a summery feeling.
