Private Beach

On a private beach in Northern California, a couple is escaping from the daily stresses of modern life. While they sun bathe on the sand, a sailboat seeks out a gentle ocean breeze.

This is the largest painting to date that I have worked on. It took 3 months of weekend painting to complete. This was done at the request of my Mom who loves the beach. I thought the bench would be a nice addition to the foreground for grabbing the viewer's attention.
