I took the photo reference for the painting at North Street beach in Chicago. I had to edit out a few folks because he was not as alone as he appears. He had a couple of hundred friends.Lake Michigan is crazy the way it resembles ocean water. My son lives a couple of blocks from this beach. Lucky guy. Such a great place for people who like to run,walk, swim, or bike.
This is painted on a 16 x 20" gallery wrapped canvas. I am still enjoying painting on the linen colored canvases. I like the way the paintbrush drags across the surface.sold
Love this little Lake Michigan swimmer! Superb job on the reflections!
ReplyDeleteWe've had quite a few deaths this year in the Lake. So sad. But it is one huge and beautiful lake, for sure. I just love the freedom of laying in the surf this little guy feels. Such a wonderful and unique beach scene, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Carol, everything about it.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I think this may be my favorite! I love how you captured him so busy in his world. Great job again!
