Myrtle Beach

I wasn’t going to put this painting on my blog, but my cousin Terri encouraged me to.  It is a painting based on my vacation at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina earlier this year.  I didn’t feel like it wasn’t up to my quality.  It was accepted into a show recently when I submitted it as a fluke.

myrtle-beach1You will see I used atmospheric perspective.  The closer persons are painted larger, while those further away are smaller.  The closer ones are more clearly portrayed and those in the distance are less defined and the colors ared faded.

Maybe you will like it better than I thought.   Who knows?  If not, I’ll put something else up very soon.

The painting definitely gives a feeling of an overcast day at the beach. I like the feeling in portrays.
