Hot off the Palette

Starting a new painting is always hard for me. Why?  I usually use an image as my main source and I have thousands of photo images to choose from. This scene was taken from a photo that was taken on a gloomy grey day, but I LOVED the curve of the beach.

Still deciding on an appropriate title for it ... so for now ... it goes untitled.

Hot off the Palette


Just off the easel, and ready for a title. 

Working quickly on the background using large bold brush strokes, I wanted to create a smooth look. My reference photo had more of a sepia tone to it. My artistic license took over as I got a bit carried away with colour... I do love colour.


The trees in the foreground really framed off the painting. Now I just need a title. Any suggestions?

28 x 22" acrylic on canvas
