SURF AND SAND, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR BEACH PAINTING



"WET FEET"
5x7 INCH ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR
OIL PAINTING BY TOM BROWN


Sometimes I like to push things to see how far I can abstract it and still get a recognizable image.

I like to go beyond the details nature offers and find the essence of the subject; the emotional magic that attracted me to it in the first place.

The heart of the subject is frequently not in details; it’s in the big shapes of color and value. The movement and rhythm of the scene. That’s what I went for in this one.

This is another 5x7 inch palette knife painting, done at Huntington Beach during the Invitational Plein Air event I am currently participating in. Let me know if you like it. Thanks for looking.

If you’d like this painting for your home let me know: tombrownstudio@cox.net
