Neptune Beach, Jacksonville, Florida


















Glorious, Oil on canvas, 24 in. x 30 in.

In February, I visited Neptune Beach in the Jacksonville area for a half-marathon race. I got up early the morning after the race to enjoy the incredible sunrise on Neptune Beach. I stood behind the high dunes and grasses and watched the sun rise above the ocean. The Atlantic Ocean has more blues and purples than the Gulf of Mexico, which has a greenish hue. The light and shadows were dramatic, with an intense contrast between the orange and the bluish-purple areas. My website is at Sharon Guy Art.
