SEA OATS



                                     6" x 9" Oil on Canvas
Day Ten - 30 in 30 Challenge
Painting sea oats proved to be a challenge within this challenge.  Was so aggravating when they didn’t cooperate and grow out of the dunes in yesterday’s painting.  Not too difficult to work on dry paint but wet into wet can present problems, at least for me.  However, just couldn’t let the oats win this battle -  so back to the beach today to conquer the grasses!  Feels good when it finally works!

    1. Thank you, Hilda! I am a Western North Carolina native but Florida is my chosen home. Miss the mountains when we are here but do not want to spend winters in NC ever again!

  2. Oh Rosemary - I think this is gorgeous. What a lovely and calm scene. I can feel the breeze off the water and the warm sand under my feet. Wonderful painting.
