On St Pete Beach, there is a fun and funky place right on the beach that draws a big sunset crowd each evening. It's an informal fish fry type place called Paradise Grill where you order at the walk up window then sit to dine at picnic tables or on the many colorful Adirondack chairs that are at the edge of the beach. Both of the paintings in this post were done at this spot. The first was an afternoon capture of the pretty tropical water as a backdrop for the two rescue surfboards that lean on a tall rack. Fortunately they never moved as far as I could tell during the trip. The orange life jacket popped out against the turquiose water which caught my eye immediately. The board was actually a black underpainting and maybe that is why the colors look extra bright.

The small but colorful sunset painting has a high key chroma for me and I'm going to say it took less than an hour. My husband and expert consultant came over and implored me to stop right there and leave it as loose and colorful as it was. I actually listened this time. hahaha. I do like the wild strokes and it has a nice tropical feel. Hope you like it too!
