The White Sandy Beaches of Southwest Florida

















White Sand, Siesta Key, Oil on canvas, 14 in. x 11 in. by Sharon Guy

The white sandy beaches of Southwest Florida are stunning, especially Siesta Beach. I painted this en plein air, while standing in the shade of the blue tower at the north end of the beach. The heat and humidity forced me to quit earlier than I wanted, but I had painted fast and was satisfied with what was on the canvas. The curve of the beach with the dunes and grasses make a nice composition. Finally, the clouds are thinning and I have some intense, tropical colors to paint. My website is at Sharon Guy Art.
