We’re spending the week in Gulf Shores, AL for a summer beach hoorah before school starts again in a few weeks. I hope I’ll still be able to paint each day — influenced by the sea and surf, I’m sure. I started with a little color study of the beach vibrance.

Today I’m experimenting with a few more color grids. We are traveling to the beach next week, where I’m sure sand, surf and shells will occupy my painting inspiration, so I wanted to get in a little more abstract work before then. I like the direction the abstract work is taking this summer and I hope to get a little further with some themes to take into the fall.
