Lucy Vincent a beach on the south side of Martha’s Vineyard, facing the Atlantic. I love this beach because of the soft sand. I wanted this painting to capture the essence of smooth wet sand as the waves retreat, contrasted by the crispness of the frothy sea foam. Due to the nature of the location the ocean takes on many different colors, but on this day the water was very clear, creating that aqua glow illuminated by the sun.

I created this piece using oil paints, on a gessoed oak panel. When I use oil paint I often vacillate between painting thick and thin. It’s a great medium for creating texture, so I try to take advantage of that and make the surface very dimensional. This is the kind of painting that gets even more beautiful the closer you get to it. I hope you like it.
