Three summer views of beach life....

It is the evening of the day. The Sun is making its descent, thus the warm hues in the sky and on the water reflecting.








Zuiderstrand vanaf Aanslag 10,
oil on canvas - 50 x 120 cm  (fair size)
painted on location - Fri. 25 July 2014
SOLD

Given the right conditions, this is has got to be one of the most beautiful beach ever! A delight to be able to paint it, and even a greater delight to be sharing the experience with my daughter and girlfriend.  If you want to experience this view you'll have to get out of bed a little earlier than usual, as this is painted in the morning, before the masses of people arrive.

Summer time, and the living is easy on South Beach




Zeilen op het NordZee,
oil on canvas - 30 x 200 cm
painted on location - Thurs 3 July 2014
SOLD

The sky clears up after 2 days of windy rainy conditions, the waves still not settled down yet, a perfect day to sail these waters. For me a perfect day to sit up and paint the situation at hand. Not the easiest thing to do, working on location in this format. But I'm in the business of pleasing the art connoisseur, and I do what it takes.
