I spend a lot of time at the beach and often come across moments like this. Of course, the vibrancy of the late afternoon colors only serve to enhance an already special moment.
Not sure I can find all the words to say how pleasing your work is. Having grown up in the 50s, I remember seeing a lot of beautiful magazine covers that were paintings instead of photos. Lifelike images such as yours take me back to wonderful times and memories. Thank you so much. Beautifully done.
Artist Reply: You're too kind, Mike...I never really think of the nostalgic aspect that much in my work, but I guess it just happens "naturally" with some of it.
And thanks to everyone else for your kind words and support!
Happy New Year to all!
Very special piece of artwork,Tom! You have captured the wind, the waves, the afternoon shadows, and the thrill of kite-flying! Wonderful abstract patterns in the sand!
