Painting the Gulf, by Sharon Guy

















Looking North, Sunday Morning, Oil on canvas, 12 in. x 10 in.

Early in the morning, I walked to the north end of Siesta Beach to look at the dunes and grasses. The light was grey and the water was greyish green when I started, but as the sun moved higher the sky and water changed to soft blue. I painted quickly, because the heat was getting intense by 9am. This was painted with a palette knife and a little brush work. The beach was quiet except for a few people out doing their early morning walks or runs.
