plein air: first avenue, cape may

11x15

I had intended to paint just the brown house and the dune grasses; I was going to put the ocean in the background ... But once I started drawing my plan was forgotten.
I like this scene very much and think it could benefit from a little more editing, so I'll probably paint it again before the summer's out.

Happy Fourth of July!

  3. Love everything about this. Is the sand really that white? I'm used to the beaches in northern Nova Scotia, which are red sand beaches. This is gorgeous!
