I just finished a new little oil painting called “Sandy Shores.” It’s a 5 by 5-inch snapshot of a tropical beach that feels like a mini escape. Two palm trees lean in on the left, their trunks rough and warm, with fronds that flicker between green, orange, and white—like they’re catching the sunlight just right. The sandy shore beneath them got some broad, carefree strokes in beige and light brown, and the ocean stretches out in blues and turquoise, dotted with tiny shimmering waves. The sky blends soft blues, purples, and pale yellows, giving the whole thing this calm, early morning or late afternoon vibe. Painting such a small scene meant focusing on the details that bring the atmosphere to life without overthinking it, and I enjoyed playing with texture and light to create something peaceful but full of energy. It’s a little corner of coast I’d happily visit anytime. Available in my studio.
