DUNES STUDY





5" x 5" Oil on Canvas 
Day Seven - 30 in 30 Challenge

Another short day in the studio. Weekend catch-up. I'm really enjoying painting dunes! Going to continue with this theme tomorrow. It's all about the light and shadow. Florida's coastline spans over 1260 miles. Only Alaska has more coastline. Our beaches and dunes are subject to change from wind, wave, tides and storms. Vegetation is important to a healthy dune system. It stabilizes sand and provides a place to live for coastal animals. With more time, sea oats would have been included.
