Here you have the first and second attempt of this scene from this series. They were originally painted in 2025, but I felt the need to rework them, thus here you see the results..  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.

A-a-a-h, the warm summer days are finally here!  I've depicted for the viewer the entrance to this beach  cafe and a view of the cafe itself. It's the start of a warm but windy day, most people choosing to stay on the terrace away from the wind. I didn't have that luxury, but I was lucky that I could set up my canvas in the same direction of the wind, thus allowing me to work in the open air. I love all the colors of the parasols and the objects around the terrace. The Sunlight hitting the cafe, causing shadows bring this scene to life. Of course all those kids and parents with the bikes the come to the beach with add a great accent to the scene. The wind force is shown by those flags flapping and the oncoming of a kite surfer..

It's always fun to work on paintings with this theme. Usually the kids come up to me and ask the most innocent naive questions.

The tide is low, the waves are gentle, the Sun is warm on the skin,  an ideal situation for Moms to take their children into the cool waters of the North Sea. Here I have re painted over a work I made earlier n in the season.
