Catching The Last Light - An Evening Beach Oil Painting by Marian Fortunati

From a photo taken by Shelley Smart
and posted on her "A Year At The Beach" blog
on blogspot.


Walks on the beach are sometimes romantic and sometimes just a great way to reflect on life and relax as the day's annoyances fall off with each step.     Gulls and sandpipers add  lively, beautiful and sometimes humorous moments to our dreamy strolls.

My focus for this painting was to catch the day's last light as it reflected off the foamy surf and shone through the wings of the gull.

I am so pleased that this painting was one of two juried in to the upcoming "Winter's Light" Exhibition which will hang at the Historic Blinn House in Pasadena, CA from November 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012.   The exhibition is curated by Margaret Danielak, who does a marvelous job of helping potential collectors examine their own tastes and make informed decisions about collecting art.
