Boys of Summer

8" X 10"
Oil on Canvas Panel

Thank you to all of you who were able to make it out to the Lakeridge Winery Festival this past weekend and stopped by to say hello. If you were out on Sunday, you may have seem this painting in progress...

While growing up, a trip to the beach was something I looked forward to all year long. The feel of the sand and salt air on my skin stuck with me for weeks after the trip was over. But as much as I enjoyed my week, I was envious of those who lived there and spent their lives in the water. Those who's tans never faded and feet rarely saw shoes. They could make the girls swoon just by walking by. Not a care in the world except running out of waves. Oh to be one of the Boys of Summer...

"Beach Babe II"

8" x 10"
Oil on Canvas Panel

It was obvious this wasn’t her first trip to the beach. She had seen the ocean before. But for a brief moment between chasing seagulls and digging in the sand, she paused as if to admire God’s creation. All of her senses worked in perfect union to tell her that this place was special- the smell of the salt air, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, the feel of sand between her toes. She already had a love for the beach that would not soon be lost. It was perfectly alright that she didn’t have the vocabulary to talk about it... words couldn’t describe this anyway.
