Scenes from Scheveningen's North beach

A little bit off the beat and path for me, but always fun to be on location here. Beach life is almost in full swing here, but as you know, it really depends on the weather.  As I usually like to be on location before the big crowds show up, thus the not so populated beach.

On a nice sunny day I headed out to this location intent on creating this panoramic view of this beach with its vista all the way to Noordwijk Aan Zee. From the area known as Zwartepad I set up my gear rather close to the dunes thus allowing me to create this composition which features the strandpaviljoen Naturel, a detail of a strandbeest from Theo Janssen.

I finally got around to making a painting of this most colorful beachcomber's hut located in the dunes  not far from where I usually make my beach paintings. I'm definitely going to be revisiting this location, because hey, who can't use a little color in their lives!

Sometimes just painting two crashing waves is enough of a challenge and gets me inspired to make a painting. As what happened on this particular occasion. I don't always have an explanation for things, but something about the coloration on the waters surface and all that activity of the water in movement made it interesting for me.

Invitation to fun and adventure by Zuid beach cafe

For me this is the most picturesque entrance on this stretch of beach. Thus it is no wonder that I go time and again to this location.  I like that one sees a section of the cafe, complete with flags, the childrens playground, pastel colored parasols and that colorful sign of the name of this cafe, Zuid (which in English translates to South).  The cloudy and windy conditions gives birth to an overall earthy tone to the Sea which is in harmony with the grass covered dunes.

The second attempt at this scene, a smaller size this time. Again the weather conditions create all those juicy earth tone colors in the Sea. I rather enjoyed painting that cloud covered sky with all those variations of warm greys. The colorful objects attached to the beach cafe create a breath of freshness which is pleasing to the eye.

Here you have the first attempt of this scene from this series in the year 2025.  The sky as you can see clearly defines the coloration of the Sea. Due to the sunny conditions, it was a little busier at the beach, thus the bicycles and that car which belongs to the beach cafe.
