This was painted from a client's photo, which was taken from the veranda of their Florida home.
It was an absolutely wonderful photo and when I was asked to recreate it on canvas, I could hardly wait to get started. The sway of the grasses actually made me feel the slight breeze on my face.
Sometimes a photo or painting can "send" the viewer there, right to the location of the scene and this photo did that for me.
This is Oils on a 24" x 30" Gallery Wrap canvas ( 1-1/2" thick ) with painted edges, so it's rather impressive in person, just due to the bigger size.
I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent on this!

Simply gorgeous!
Marvellous use of colour I am sure the commissioner will be pleased with it.
Beautiful and calming :) The colours are wonderful.
I simply matched the photo as closely as I could. From the colors, the specific cloud shapes, right down to the individual grass blades. I love the colors in this, too, but I can't claim them as my own design. It was Mother Nature.
Makes me feel right at home Willie ...... I wish I were "on da beach" right now :-)
Just amazing !!
Its a brilliant piece of art-form.
Loved it :)
Gorgeous colors and strokes.....

I live in Florida and scenes like that do come to mind. I really bet that they loved that painting and are bragging to their friends and neighbors about it. I used to live at Jacksonville Beach in the early 80's and your painting reminds me of the calmness the ocean provided. tc Wilson,...Amy
