Pastel on sanded gatorboard - 14x11
SOLD
The sugar white sand of the Gulf beaches and the spectacular green of the sea oats have always captured my attention. This view of the Gulf is from the top of the dunes at Cape San Blas state park. I have drawn and photographed this particular view a number of times, and I have done other painting from this position looking in the other direction. I don't know why I've never painted this view before.
The gatorboard was given two coats of acrylic gesso, then two coats of pumice gel with acrylic burnt sienna. The surface has enough texture that the undercoat show through in places. That "peeking through" lends warmth and contrast to the greens.
