Myrtle Beach (commission)
12 in. x 24 in., acrylic on canvas
The collector who commissioned this piece owns a couple of other pieces of mine depicting some of her favorite spots along the cooler, northern Atlantic beaches, but wanted to add this serene painting of a quiet length of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. The piece is warmed by a yellow ochre underpainting which you can't see, but which heats up the intense blue of the sky on the day the buyer snapped the reference photos. Without the gold underneath, the painting would lack the feel of the warm temperatures and the yellow sunlight in a setting dominated by cool blues and greens.
