Winter Walk, Beach Reflections

Pastel on UArt, 6x9

I'm amazed at how warm the colors colors at the beach can be on a chilly, winter morning.  The wind blows in the sea-smoke and blankets the horizon with haze, but the bright sun makes even the cold sand look warm. The beach is almost empty, except for a few people who briefly cast their reflections on the sand as they pass.
