As promised, I am including a realistic painting this week... This was done onsite, on a beach near the town of Monster, the Netherlands. By the time I wrapped up this painting, the beach was getting really crowded. This is what it looked like around 10 in the morning.

I've spent a lot of time looking at the artist Niksic from Zagreb. Abstract paintings are really fun to do, but in my opinion are much harder than working from life. This is a small painting, just under 12 inches wide. This painting is about color and texture.

This was painted on a beautiful afternoon in the dunes here in Holland near the Hague, overlooking the North Sea. It was a wonderful day to be outside.
