Beach Shelter in Winter

Beach Shelter in Winter - In Progress

This is the view from my childhood home, done from a photo taken by my niece just last week during a snowstorm.   Thank you Stefanie!  The shelters today look no different than they did fifty years ago, and I'm thinking that anyone who walks, runs or rides along Day Boulevard should recognize the shape of the roofline over the benches.  During the summer, they provide nice shade and during the winter, they provide material for a nice painting.

Beach Shelter in Winter

Soda Water with Lemon aka "Distracted"

Distracted

I liked the casual pose of this figure at the bar.  She had some kind of refreshment with lemon and was talking on the phone.   She had a distracted look, and it was as if her sidelong glance was saying "I'm not buying it."   ... or something to that effect.  :))

The face and hands were worked in a glazed, realistic manner, but the rest of the painting was loosely painted, giving a more abstract feel.
