Beach House
Artist
Mary Deal
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
I am self-taught in oil painting. This is my first effort at an extremely detailed scene. This is a combination of three photos. I've painted a livelier blue sky, a more sandy beach, and made the house look like a shanty. I have to admit, beach scenes are interesting to paint.
Specifically, the house with the leaning coconut trees in front are at the bottom of the hill from my home, near the highway. I photographed that house because I could see it deteriorating. I never thought I'd put it into a painting. The house has since fallen into ruin and been boarded up, with most of the trees cut down, even though people still live in it.
One day - when all my other painting projects thin out - I will paint this house in close up.

Mary, Remarkable oil painting love the way you have portrayed the palm trees tops blowing in the wind and the gorgeous white sandy beach, a little action of white caps forming on top of the waves as they roll in. Great details throughout the painting and painting the perfect getaway with that Beach House right in the middle of the gorgeous sky, sandy beach and palm trees, dying to get a place for myself like that, excellent painting, fav, voted, google and tweet promoted and selected as my Pay It Forward in the Self Taught Artists group

Thank you so much, John. So glad you enjoyed this. Love the way you scrutinize an image before commenting. As mentioned in my description, I will eventually paint this old house and leaning palms in close up. Thank you so much for your attention to my art and for your comments.

Thank you, Ellie! The paint isn't even dry but I'm calling this one finished. It's like writing; you can edit yourself silly. At some point you have to let it go.
