Having landed in my home state of Florida,
my annual painting retreat has begun.

I loved the connection.

Beach and Ocean Paintings, "Perfect Day," by Amy Whitehouse
8" x 8" Oil, $200
A seascape inspired by my time in Fernandina Beach, FL,
this looks like a perfect day at the beach.
The huge clouds are moving shadows across
the wide expanse of sand.
The beautiful waves rhythmically soothe
the beachcomber.
The colors of the water, clouds, foam, and sand
complement each other and bring the viewer oceanside.

Contemporary Beach, "Sand Dunes 2," by Amy Whitehouse
6"x8" Oil, $125
In order to get from the rental beach house to the beach each day,
I must navigate a couple of mildly steep sand dunes.
As I plod up and down the soft loose ground,
keeping an eye out for Florida critters,
I marvel at the beautiful lit colors the sun gives
to simple sand.
