Beautiful...professional looking artwork. So nice that it looks like a photograph. It will be great to see more of her beach scenes. Best of luck in your painting.

Comment from Renate-Bertodi
these carefully juxta-positioned paintings catch the gentler beatings of the earth, with their soft colours and gentle breezes. A facet of our planet we all love, but arn't all party to. Lovely-

A very beautiful beach scene. I love the pastel colors and the sandy path leading to the beach. Awesome sky and the tall grass on the sides of the path along with the flying birds add interest. Excellent framing and visual impact. Well done. ~Alveria

Yet another grand scene for your collection Linda. The pastel colors and gentle details make for a unique and very calming scene. It will be interesting to see which ones you ultimately submit to the committee. Kudos Linda ~ Steve

At first I thought this was a repost of the companion Destin beach image. They would make a great pair to display together. I like this one a little better because the light seems warmer and the seed heads more detailed.

Thanks so much. It is part of a series I did for Destin.

Comment from Stringbean
I do like this color palette and your use of pinks, purples and yellows mixed with nice movement in your sky. Also like your shading on the sand and how your path draws us into your art work. Your differentiation in your scene is beautifully done adding interest in your scene. I love this one.....and good luck with your submission. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing these art works.

Im not a fan of pastel to be honest ,however you have mastered the technique of blending the colours together well to create what is a stunning sky. I am not as confident in the land formation though as it appears to lack depth and makes the presentation slightly flat

Thanks. That bothers me too and I have put it aside to re do.

I redid this piece after letting it sit for a few days. I would love it if you would take another look and email me what you think.

a big difference and becomes a lot more appealing to the eye as the viewer is invited into the picture through the introduction of depth through your tonal control from dark foreground to light distance and what i like is the darker emphasis on your horizon that separates the sky and the sea perfectly...glad you revisited :)

Comment from gargoylesocks
I really love this! You got the colors perfect for a sunrise. The birds, grass in the foreground and waves in the background all create movement. This scene reminds me of my recent trip to the beach so it feels personal to me. Excellent work!

Comment from Malmax
I thought this looked familiar and after reading the narrative I can see why. I happen to really like this version and if its a pastel
society this one has a lot going for it. The shades of various pastels here are beautifully blended creating
a spring feel to your work.
This one just has a wonderful fresh appearance.
Best of luck!
