These flowers were growing over the garden wall, from the restaurant next door, of our hotel in Barra de Potosi, Mexico.  The wall shadows changed so quickly, I blocked them in first, didn't change them, and painted the rest from there.

As with all of my paintings this winter, paintings sold before March 30th will be mailed in early April.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

I've painted a lot of beach scenes, but usually palm trees, still water, things that don't move.  This is one of the few times that I've tried painting waves plein air.  Obviously the challenge is the quick movement of the waves.  I blocked in one wave and tried to quickly paint it in even as it rolled back into the sea while I was painting.  I'd wait for the next wave and try to get the colors from there without changing the shape I'd just blocked in.  It was challenging, but actually kind of fun.  I think I'll try another next time we're at the beach.

I got to the beach in the late afternoon on our first day in Barra de Potosi, Mexico.  The sun was headed west, so there wasn't too much shade left for shadows from the tree (they were blocked by other trees) or for me to stand under.  Never the less, there was just enough shade to get paint this piece.  However, there were a lot of no-see-ums!  Still, I love my life!
