Cliche




12 x 3o Oil on gallery wrapped canvas


So, I know, I know the rainbow umbrella on the empty beach is SO cliche. I am positive that every artist on the north and south shore of Boston (heck every artist near a beach anywhere) has done this. Including myself. However, I took the girls around 5:30pm the other day (have I mentioned this is my favorite time) and I saw this. Literally perfect picture. How very considerate for this person to set this scene up for me just right! There were a couple of other people in the distance but I like this lady in her white suit and the feeling that she was alone on this vast beach. I did not paint the swarms of greenheads that we braved on the way back to the car... Although none of them actually suceeded in biting us, but they (literally) gave us a run for our money.

Just passing through and couldn't resist taking a look through your work. Your colours are vivid, bright and bold which compliments your compositions. i love the snap shots you do too, maybe I should attempt more. But thanks for sharing, and your work is beautiful.

I don't think it's cliche at all - I think it's lovely - I think it talks . . .

I don't think it's cliche at all, I think it's moving and I think it talks . . .
