I had a great day painting this old garage in my neighborhood with my friend Nancy. Until I dropped this into the sand face down :( I loosened those little brackets that hold the painting onto the easel a little too much while trying to work the edges. I'll wait for it to dry and scrape off the sand and finish it. It feels quite 'beachy', though ;)

Sorry about the drop...still I love the color in this one!
I'm sure this'll show up in my email at some point, so I'll make my comment here on Facebook! The sand is not too bad - I had a worse debris effect at Sue's! Kind of makes it an authentic windy, beachy day!
EEK, still a nice painting, but it reinforces my dislike of plein air...lol
Kelley, you're right. The sand is more around the edges. I did try to work on it a bit last night but the sand is too intrusive ;)
Actually the whole building was in shadow except for the foreground bushes. I'm thinking I need to lighten up that side of the building just a tad to indicate that it's a different plane, but not so much as to kill the light in the bushes.
Please feel free to jump in and give me your thoughts here.
We'll see. After all.....it's a WIP ;) more to come..............
I don't think you need to TOUCH the building - the sky could be a bit lighter, though, especially at the horizon line. WAIT till you can brush off that sand in a day or two, or you'll have texture where you don't want it! xoxo
Yea, I'm still kind of thinking that sky needs to be yellow! That would make the building look even cooler and in shadow. The beach roses are JUST right! I was there folks!
Wow..what an adventure..the sand will be a divine addition to the piece..a magic memory to go with the the story behind it!
